"If only Roy were here to personally express his gratitude for this honor, what an even more amazing day this would be," said Brandy Halladay, Roy's wife in a statement via the Phillies. "I would like to extend special thanks to the baseball writers for the overwhelming percentage of votes that Roy received in his first year on the ballot. It means so much to me, Braden and Ryan."
