Today's POTD salutes the return of Roy Halladay to Toronto, even if it was in the wrong uniform.  ;D

Halladay's stats to date on JaysVision.


Halladay throws his first pitch in Toronto outside of a Jays uniform to Aaron Hill, a 91 MPH fastball for a called strike.  He earned a complete game victory in the Phillies 5-3 win over Toronto by allowing eight hits (including a Jose Bautista homer) and a walk while striking out eight.  The two-time Cy Young Award winner will be the National League's starting pitcher in Tuesday's All-Star Game in Arizona.

Looking at these fine pictures, I remain all the more convinced that Doc will be going strong at age 42.

I do not know when he will retire, but I am pretty sure it will happen when he decides he wants to stop playing, and not because he can no longer contribute.
