http://www.thestar.com/sports/bluejays/2013/12/09/roy_halladay_to_retire_as_a_blue_jay_after_signing_oneday_contract.htmlne of the greatest pitchers in Blue Jays history, Roy Halladay will sign a one-day contract with Toronto to retire with his original team, according to reports out of baseball’s winter meetings in Orlando, Fla.
Halladay, a first-round draft pick of the Jays, pitched 12 years in Toronto, posting a 148-76 record and 3.43 ERA while winning the Cy Young award in 2003 and playing in six all-star games.
He was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, where he won a second Cy Young, after the 2009 season for a package of prospects, including Travis d’Arnaud, Kyle Drabek and Michael Taylor.

Classy guy. Philly only had him at his best for two years, before he started to break down.
Happy trails, Halladay.
