Braden Halladay stood on the field to throw a first pitch at the same ballpark where Roy Halladay threw a playoff no-hitter and wondered how the moment never seemed too big for his father.
Roy Halladay already had thrown a perfect game for the Phillies in 2010, about as rare a feat as a pitcher can accomplish in baseball. Halladay pitched himself into baseball history later that October with a playoff no-hitter, the second ever in baseball and a moment that forever stamped an already great pitcher as a bona fide Hall of Famer.
"Tough to be in front of that many people," Braden Halladay said. "Makes me really think about how incredible it is that my dad not only did it in the regular season but in the postseason. How well he did it, it's really special to think about for me."
