Toronto Blue Jays to retire Roy Halladay's number 32
The Toronto Blue Jays will be paying tribute to former pitcher and recently-deceased MLB all-star Roy (Doc) Halladay on opening day this year by retiring his No. 32 jersey.
Halladay, who played for the Jays between 1998 and 2009, died in November of 2017 when the plane he was flying crashed into the Gulf of Mexico.
Join us Opening Day, as we pay tribute to the late Roy Halladay and retire his uniform number.
