sexual battery.
Tucker appeared
alongside Public
Defender Kirk McVay
who entered an innocent plea to all four

charges. The prosecution was represented
by Special Prosecutor
Angela Canepa from
the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce.
According to the
new indictment, the

Throwback Thursday: 1937 Flood

Photo by John P. Scott, Courtesy of the Meigs County Historical Society

This weekend in 1937 brought record high water along the Ohio River, including the second highest crest on record in Pomeroy at 67.80
feet on January 28, 1937. The 1937 flood crested just one foot shy of the 1913 flood, according to records from the National Weather
Service. This photo from John P. Scott looks north onto Second Street from intersection of Butternut during the historic flooding.
Scott’s photos from around Pomeroy during the flood can be found on the Meigs County Historical Society Facebook page and include
“Then and Now” photos which were taken by Jennifer Harrison and Mary Wise in 2012 to mark the 75th anniversary of the flood.

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — A Gallipolis
man, who once confessed
and was convicted of
dismembering a Gallia
woman, pleaded guilty to
illegally concealing her
body in Point Pleasant
during a plea hearing in
Mason County Circuit
Court, Wednesday morning.
Richard Hurt, 49, is
in the midst of serving a
four-year sentence for his
Ohio conviction which
was handed down late
February 2017. There, he

Lily Colley (left) and Silas Easter (right)
kickstarted a new venture after trying their
hand at whittling wands.

RIO GRANDE — It was during the fall equinox that seventh
grader Silas Easter decided to try
his hand at whittling a wand. He
asked his dad for help, invited his
friend Lily Colley over to join him
and “Silas and Lily’s Magic Emporium: Witchcraft and Wizardry for
Everyday Use” was born.
Since that evening, the duo has
been hard at work making wands
they plan to sell at the Raised
Around Rio Farmer and Artisan
Market in the Spring. In addition,
they also plan to make items like
potion bottles and dreamcatchers
to sell and have a “decorate your
own wand” table at their booth.
As they make more wands, both
said ensuring each one is unique
has been the biggest challenge, so

far. Not only do they draw inspiration from popular culture, they
also add beads and other decorations to creatively set each wand
apart from the other. While they
are focusing right now on building
up their inventory, they have made
a few sales to friends and family.
In the end, Colley said she
thinks, as they get more experience making them, the wands will
“end up as a great gift for someone
and just something fun for people
to have.”

The Cross Family businesses
By Jordan Pickens
Special to OVP

“It is easier to do a job
right than to explain why
you didn’t.” — President
Martin Van Buren
These words could
sum up
the legacy
the Cross
Family businesses gave
the people
of Sutton
Township,
Cross
and all
of Meigs
County, and it lasted into
the 21st century until
Cross’ Sons Grocery went
out of business. At that
time, not only did the longest-operating business in
Meigs County close, but
so did one of the oldest
businesses in the Northwest Territory.
Lucius Cross was born
Dec. 30, 1798, in Mansﬁeld, Connecticut. By
the time he was three
years old, he had been
orphaned and was then
brought to Marietta,
Ohio, where he grew to
manhood on a farm. It is
said that his stepmother
stole his inheritance and
used it to educate her
own son, John Brough,
who later became the
26th Governor of Ohio
from Jan. 11, 1864 to
Aug. 29, 1865.
In April of 1822, Lucius
married Thirza Stanley,
daughter of Washington
County’s Timothy Stanley, and the couple came
directly to Meigs County,
settling on lands in back
of Graham’s Station, what
is now Racine. In 1823,
Lucius built a log cabin to
live in, prepared his land
for cultivation, and built a
tannery on his farm.
Lucius Cross went on
to open a trade in the
South, boats loaded with
pressed hay and farm
products, and due to his
many different industries
and diverse interests,
he gave employment to
numerous men. In 1832,
he built his large, spacious farm house. According to Larkin’s Pioneer
History of Meigs County,
Mr. Cross was said to be
“a real temperance man,
and suffered no whisky to
be brought to his premises, and his farm house
has the record of being
the ﬁrst building erected
in Meigs County without
whisky or any intoxicating drink.” The house,
considered the best in
Meigs County, was noted
for its beauty in construction and location.
In 1836, he erected
a saw and grist mill
on Bowman’s Run and
founded The Racine
Woolen Mill which built
ﬂatboats on the river at
Graham’s Station. Lucius
had his timber all utilized
for lumber, cordwood,
or tanbark. The mill was
built from lumber cut and
sawed at Lucius’ waterpowered saw mill on the
farm. The mill was 28
feet x 40 feet and was a
three story structure that
included a basement. The
mill stones used in the
mill, each weighting one
ton, were made underground in France and
then shipped overseas to
Cross.
The mill was originally
water powered due to cre-

THEIR VIEW

Dahlia named
among plants of
the year for 2019
Each year the National Garden Bureau selects
one annual, one perennial, one bulb crop and one
edible as favorite crops of the year. Plants are chosen because they are popular, easy to
grow, widely adaptable, genetically
diverse, and versatile. This year they
have selected the Snapdragon, the
Dahlia, the Pumpkin and the Salvia
Nemorosa.
My father grew lots of dahlias,
ranging in color, form and size from
Charlene a pompon; around 2 inches in diamThornhill eter, up to a 15 inches known as a
Contributing dinner plate. We enjoy growing the
columnist
dahlias and ﬁnd them addictive; it’s
hard to grow just one.
The native dahlias found in the mountains of
Mexico and Guatemala is the genetic source for
the modern hybrid dahlias we grow today. About
200 years passed before dahlia seeds, roots, and
plants found their way to Spain and other parts
of Europe. The Madrid Botanical Gardens named
the genus for Andreas Dahl, a Swedish botanist,
and student of Carl Linnaeus. Initial breeders of
dahlias were more interested in the dahlia as a
food source since the blooms at that time were not
particularly noteworthy.
In 1872 a new box of dahlia roots was sent from
Mexico to Holland and the only surviving tuber
produced a brilliant red bloom with petals that
were rolled back and pointed. Breeders today
propagate new cultivars using various techniques
and creating fantastic new colors, shapes and
plant habits that perform well in the garden.
There are 42 species and about 20,000 culitvars
of dahlias. The plant is a tuberous plant and is
in the family of the sunﬂower, daisy, chrysanthemum, and zinnia.
There are several ways to enjoy your ﬁrst dahlia.
Most major garden centers sell dahlia tubers. A
tuber looks like a sweet potato that grows under
the soil surface and sends up strong stems.
The tubers can go directly into the ground in
the spring when the ground is warm and there
is little chance of frost. One good guideline is to
plant at the same time as you would a tomato.
If you want blooms as early as possible, you can
start the tubers indoors in good light about a
month before planting time. By starting early you
could have a small plant ready to transplant at
planting time.
Dahlias require a site with good drainage and
partial to full sun. Most dahlias need to be staked
to avoid falling over at maturity. Best practice is
placing the stake prior to planting to avoid damaging the tuber and roots system. Tomato cages can
also be a simple approach to staking.
Plant the tuber according to the package directions with the “eye” on the tuber facing up. The
eye is the point on the shoulder, or crown, of the
tuber from which the plant grows.
Small dahlia plants are susceptible to slug damage. It is a good idea to manually remove slugs or
to protect them with a commercial slug killer.
Japanese beetles seem to enjoy dahlia blooms
just when they are ready for a bouquet. One of
the best methods of control is to manually remove
the beetles and drop them into a bucket of soapy
water.
If other insects become a problem you might
want to consider using an insecticidal soap or a
commercial pesticide.
Dahlias are low on the deer’s list of favorite
foods. While dahlias are not deer-proof, they are
deer resistant.
Dahlias do not need a lot of water; in fact, excessive watering early in the season can lead to rotting. In containers, dahlias will require more water
because of their limited soil volume.
Dahlias will generally beneﬁt from regular treatments with a water-soluble or granular fertilizer.
You should stop fertilizing later in the season or
about the ﬁrst of September.
Can’t wait to see them sprout this spring!

THEIR VIEW

We felt like we knew them
and children lived happily
together.
As part of the Times
article, the reporter
joined David Nelson for
a trip to the old Nelson
home place in Hollywood.
It was not a Hollywood
set; it had been the Nelson family’s actual home.
The reporter said he
walked to the front yard
to look more closely, but
to his surprise David
stayed in the car. David
has been the one to see
the family through its
darkest times. He was
inside this house, in the
room with Ozzie when he
had died. He was in this
house they had received
word of Ricky’s death.
When Harriet died, David
was holding her hand.
After Ozzie died, Harriet lived alone in this
house until she ﬁnally
decided to sell it. On the
last day before the new
owners moved in, Harriet
took one last look inside.
She broke down.
Maybe she heard
the knock of neighbor
“Thorny,” asking if Ozzie
could come outside.
Maybe it was the smell of
the pies she was always
baking drifting back into
the kitchen. Maybe it was
the voices of her family:
”Hi, Mom. Hi, Pop.” ”Oh,
hello, boys.”
Or maybe she heard the
voice of Ozzie tenderly
calling out to her one
last time: “Harriet, I’m
home.”

For as long as I can
remember, I have had a
small lamp hooked over
top of the headboard of
my bed. It is a treasured
reading companion —
a companion that has
helped develop a love of
the written word that has
remained with me my
entire life.
I must admit, however,
my reading choices are
unusual. I am particularly
partial to biographies
and autobiographies of
classic entertainers from
the early days of show
business.
Almost every Christmas, Brenda places a special, usually hard-to-ﬁnd
book under the Christmas tree as a gift for me.
One year she gifted me a
1948 autobiography written by Burl Ives, titled
“Wayfaring Stranger.”
John Wayne’s, Bob
Braun’s and Hank Snow’s
books showed up various
years. And, so it goes.
A couple of Christmases ago Brenda bought me
a book by Ozzie Nelson
simply titled “Ozzie.”
He wasn’t a renowned
author, but unknown to
many, he had earned a
law degree from Rutgers
University in 1930. Ozzie
wrote well.
Each page conveyed
a man who was happy,
humorous and full of
warmth, with a strong
love for his family. The

Franklin County on Wednesday joins about a

Officials say a call is still preferable but texting
is an important option if someone is hiding dur­

PICKERINGTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio city

announced his retirement.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that Pickerington City Manager Frank Wiseman announced
Police Chief Michael Taylor’s retirement in a brief

Taylor, who had served as chief since 2003, will
retire effective Feb. 19. He plans to take personal

Taylor’s decision comes after city officials
received two anonymous complaint letters alleg­

city had hired a lawyer to look into the allega­

Hannan sweeps Defenders, 78-48
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

Bryan Walters | OVP Sports

Hannan senior Andrew Gillispie (2) releases a shot attempt over
an Ohio Valley Christian defender during the second half of
Tuesday night’s boys basketball contest in Gallipolis, Ohio.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio —
It just took a little time to
warm up.
The Hannan boys
basketball team shot 51
percent from the ﬁeld
over the ﬁnal three quarters of play on Tuesday
night en route to a 78-48
victory over host Ohio
Valley Christian in a nonconference contest in the
Old French City.
The Wildcats (4-9)
never trailed in the contest as the guests built a

14-10 edge through eight
minutes of play, then
broke away from a 23-all
tie with an 11-4 surge
over the ﬁnal 3:46 of the
ﬁrst half while building a
seven-point intermission
advantage.
The Defenders (4-12)
were never closer as the
Blue and White scored
the ﬁrst dozen points out
of the break as part of a
23-7 third quarter charge
that resulted in a 57-34
cushion entering the
ﬁnale.
The Blue and Gold
twice trimmed the lead

down to 22 points, the
last of which came at
66-42 with 5:05 left in
regulation. Hannan led by
as many as 32 points on
three separate occasions
over the ﬁnal 80 seconds
of play.
The victory allowed
Hannan to claim a season
sweep of Ohio Valley
Christian after posting a
65-47 decision in Ashton
back on Dec. 7, 2018.
More importantly, as
HHS coach Shawn Coleman noted afterwards,
it was nice to see such a
balanced attack on both

ends of the ﬂoor — most
notably coming out of the
halftime gates.
“We knew coming out
of halftime that we had to
do a better job of focusing
our defensive attention on
Mark Oliver and Justin
Beaver. We put all of our
effort on pressuring those
two, and it ultimately
led to more turnovers
… which in turn led to
some transition points,”
Coleman said. “We still
had too many turnovers,
but our offense kicked it

Rivera 1st unanimous
HOF pick; Doc,
Edgar, Mussina also in
NEW YORK (AP) — This honor was saved for
the one and only Mariano Rivera.
Not Babe Ruth. Not Hank Aaron. Not Cy Young.
Not until “The Sandman” could everyone agree.
Rivera became baseball’s ﬁrst unanimous Hall
of Fame selection, elected Tuesday along with
Edgar Martinez, Mike Mussina and the late Roy
Halladay. Rivera received all 425 votes in balloting
announced by the Baseball Writers’ Association
of America. Ken Griffey Jr. held the mark for top
percentage at 99.32 when he was on 437 of 440
ballots two years ago.
“Beyond my imagination,” Rivera said.
The quartet will be enshrined in Cooperstown
along with Today’s Game Era Committee selections Harold Baines and Lee Smith on July 21.
Rivera is baseball’s career saves leader with 652.
With a steady demeanor and a fearsome cut fastball, he won ﬁve World Series over 19 seasons with
the New York Yankees. He was always at his best in
October, getting 42 saves with a 0.70 ERA over 16
postseasons, including 11 saves in the World Series.
Halladay, an ace with the Toronto Blue Jays and
Philadelphia Phillies, got 85.4 percent and will be
the ﬁrst posthumous inductee since Deacon White
in 2013 and Ron Santo in 2012. Halladay died in
November 2017 at 40 years old when an airplane
he was ﬂying crashed into the Gulf of Mexico off
the coast of Florida.
Martinez was a .312 hitter over 18 seasons with
Seattle. He got 85.4 percent in his 10th and ﬁnal
try on the writers’ ballot. He and Baines will join
2014 inductee Frank Thomas as the only Hall of
Famers to play the majority of their games at designated hitter. David Ortiz will be eligible in 2022.
Mussina was a steady right-hander for the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles who went 270-153
with 2,813 strikeouts over 18 seasons. He received
76.7 percent, getting seven more votes than the
319 required for election.
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens made gains
but again fell short in their seventh times on the
ballot. Bonds got 59.1 percent and Clemens 59.5,
their cases muddied by steroid accusations.
Rivera grew up in Panama the son of a ﬁsherman.

Apparently the weather
warmed up enough to go
for a run after halftime.
The Ohio Valley
Christian girls basketball team overcame a
two-point deﬁcit at the
break with a ferocious
24-6 second half surge
on Tuesday night while
cruising to a 36-20 victory in a non-conference
matchup in Gallia
County.
The Lady Defenders
(9-9) found themselves
in early holes of 6-5 and
14-12 after each of the
ﬁrst two quarters of
play, but the hosts held
the Lady Wildcats (6-7)
without a ﬁeld goal in
the second half while
making their impressive
charge.
Lauren Ragan broke
a 14-all tie with a free
throw at the 6:42 mark
of the third frame, which
ended up providing the
Blue and Gold with a
lead that they’d never
relinquish.
Julie Frazier accounted for Hannan’s only
point of the third quarter with a free throw at
the 4:45 mark, which cut
the lead down to 17-15.
The Blue and White,
however, were never
closer as Ohio Valley
Christian closed the
canto with 11 consecutive points while extending their lead out to
28-15 headed into the

Blue Devils sweep Rock Hill, 58-34
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

PEDRO, Ohio — They ﬁnished what they started.
The Gallia Academy boys
basketball team outscored host
Rock Hill by a 38-14 margin in
the ﬁrst and third quarters and
ultimately rolled to a 58-34 victory on Tuesday night during
an Ohio Valley Conference contest in Lawrence County.
The Blue Devils (9-4, 6-2
OVC) improved to 5-2 in road
contests — including their
third straight win away from

home — while also claiming a
season sweep of the Redmen
(3-10, 0-8). The Blue and White
posted a 64-33 win in Centenary back on Dec. 11, 2018.
GAHS got six points apiece
from Justin McClelland and
Cory Call in the opening frame,
as well as ﬁve points from
Logan Blouir during a 17-8 ﬁrst
quarter surge.
The Blue Devils cooled off in
the second canto, and Brayden
Malone tallied four points
during a small 7-6 spurt that
allowed the Red and White to
close the gap down to 23-15

CINCINNATI (AP) — Sonny
Gray knows what he’s getting into
even before he arrives in Cincinnati.
His father tried out for the Reds
and failed to make the cut, but
remained a huge fan. Gray attended his ﬁrst major league game at
Great American Ball Park, and he
knows about the town’s afﬁnity
for a unique style of chili.
The starter also knows that
Great American is akin to Yankee
Stadium, where he struggled
mightily last season. Gray agreed
to a trade from the Yankees anyway, along with a $38 million,
four-year contract adding $30.5
million in guaranteed money from
2020-22.
The deal announced Monday
includes a $12 million club option
for 2023 that could increase
the value to $50 million for ﬁve
seasons and has additional performance bonuses for innings and
escalators.
“The relationships just felt
right,” Gray said during a conference call Tuesday.
The Reds made their third
offseason move to upgrade their
troublesome rotation on Monday,
sending inﬁeld prospect Shed
Long and a high pick in this year’s
amateur draft to the Yankees in
exchange for the 29-year-old Gray
and left-hander Reiver Sanmartin. New York then sent Long to
Seattle for 21-year-old outﬁelder
Josh Stowers.
New York got Gray from
Oakland in July 2017, but that
relationship didn’t work out. He
was dropped from the rotation in

NFL to consider
expanding
replay reviews
NEW YORK (AP) —
The NFL will consider
expanding replay reviews
to include certain penalties, including pass interference.
Two people with direct
knowledge of the NFL’s
plans tell The Associated
Press that the league’s
competition committee
once again will look into
including more plays for
video review. The people,
who spoke Tuesday on
condition of anonymity
because the NFL has not
publicly announced such
plans, stressed that the
committee looks into
the parameters of replay
yearly. It has considered
inclusion of what are
considered judgment
calls by ofﬁcials in the
past.
Ofﬁciating once more
became a hot topic during Sunday’s NFC championship game. A missed
call by referee Bill Vinovich’s crew of a blatant
pass interference penalty
and helmet-to-helmet
hit by Rams cornerback
Nickell Robey-Coleman
on Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis likely cost
New Orleans a spot in

the Super Bowl.
Saints coach Sean
Payton said Al Riveron,
the NFL’s senior vice
president of ofﬁciating,
told him afterward that
a ﬂag should have been
thrown.
“Considering the
current climate after
what happened in New
Orleans, yes, that’s something the committee
once again will strongly
look at,” one person said.
“It gets talked about each
year, but it’s not been
something the ownership
or the league has gone
for.”
Indeed, the powerful
competition committee always has opposed
placing judgment calls
of any kind in the replay
process. Any changes
to replay would need
approval by at least 24
of the 32 team owners,
but ﬁrst the competition
committee would need to
recommend such alterations.
One reason the league
has been loath to expand
replay is a fear it would
signiﬁcantly lengthen
games — and not with
any real action.

Blouir paced GAHS with a
game-high 15 points, followed
by Call with 14 points and
McClelland with 11 markers.
Blaine Carter also contributed
six points to the winning cause.
Cole Davis, Caleb Henry,
Brendan Carter, Ben Cox and
Damon Cremeens each chipped
in two points for the Blue Devils.
The Redmen made 14 total
ﬁeld goals — none of which
were trifectas — and also went
6-of-13 at the charity stripe for
46 percent.
Malone paced RHHS with

10 points, followed by Logan
Hankins with seven points and
Kadin France with ﬁve markers.
Jake Blagg and Caleb Davis
were next with three points
each, with Nick Blankenship,
Owen Hankins and Jacob
Schwab rounding out the tally
with two markers apiece.

Sonny Gray has agreed to a contract with the Cincinnati Reds that allows the Yankees
to complete his trade to the Reds. Gray, who was eligible for free agency after the 2019
season, agreed to a deal through 2022 with a club option for 2023.

August and ﬁnished 15-16 with a
4.52 ERA overall for New York.
Gray had a 3.17 ERA on the
road last season and 6.98 at Yankee Stadium. He’s moving to a
ballpark that has been among the
majors’ most homer-friendly every
season since it opened in 2003.
“That never factored in to my
decision,” Gray said. “I’m not
huge into that type of stuff. I
think if you can pitch and you’re
comfortable pitching somewhere,
honestly you can go out and get
the job done, for sure.”
He can’t explain why his results
were so much worse at Yankee
Stadium.
“I’m not going to lie: I felt
comfortable taking the mound,”
he said. “I felt good. It just didn’t
work out. I don’t know. I don’t
have an answer for that.”
He felt comfortable joining

the Reds in part because he’ll
be reunited with pitching coach
Derek Johnson, who was his
coach at Vanderbilt. Plus, Gray
was encouraged that the Reds are
trying to resurrect themselves
from four straight seasons with
at least 94 losses. They’ve also
traded for starters Tanner Roark
and Alex Wood, giving their rotation an overhaul.
The Reds spent the last three
seasons relying on young starters to emerge, but most of them
struggled mightily. The three
newcomers will join Anthony
DeSclafani as a foursome with
signiﬁcant major league experience.
“It’s just some guys who have
been around and know how to
win and know the whole process,
know what it takes to get through
a whole season,” Gray said.

Next year it’s Jeter’s chance to join Rivera in the Hall
By Noah Trister
The Associated Press

Mariano Rivera sailed into
the Hall of Fame without a single dissenting vote. Next year,
it’s Derek Jeter’s turn — and
don’t expect much opposition
then, either.
Jeter headlines the group of
candidates who will be newly
eligible for the Hall next year
, and now that Rivera has
become the ﬁrst player elected
unanimously , it won’t be a surprise if another transcendent
New York Yankees star does
the same. With 3,465 hits to
his credit — not to mention
ﬁve World Series titles — Jeter
shouldn’t have much to worry
about when the results are
announced.
Whether he goes in unani-

mously is another matter.
After his longtime teammate
broke ground as the ﬁrst player
selected on 100 percent of
the ballots submitted, some
baseball writers might be more
willing to vote strategically:
Nobody is allowed to pick more
than 10 players, so for some it
could make sense to leave off a
certain inductee if a vote would
mean more for a player on the
bubble.
But nobody left off Rivera
this time, and Jeter’s stature in
the sport is similar.
Here are a few other things
to watch in the next Hall of
Fame vote:

of other new candidates who
distinguished themselves as
well. Cliff Lee won a Cy Young
Award and Jason Giambi has
an MVP. Alfonso Soriano
accomplished a rare 40-40 season in 2006.

Best of the rest
Jeter may be the only ﬁrstballot Hall of Famer next
year, but there are a handful

Bonds and Clemens
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, their candidacies held
back by links to performance-

Final shot
Edgar Martinez made the
Hall this year in his last chance
on the ballot. Fred McGriff did
not. Next season, it’s Larry
Walker who will be up for the
10th and ﬁnal time. Walker’s
vote percentage shot up this
year from 34 to 55. He’ll need
another increase like that to
get in.

enhancing drug use, appear to
have hit a wall. In their seventh
year on the ballot, Clemens
received 59.5 percent of the
vote and Bonds received 59.1.
Last year, Clemens was at 57.3
percent and Bonds was at 56.4.
In theory, there’s enough
time to make up the remaining
ground — Martinez was below
50 percent three years ago —
but views on Bonds and Clemens appear pretty entrenched.
Other holdovers
Four players were elected
this year by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America,
and with only Jeter standing
out among the newcomers,
the ballot might feel a bit less
crowded next year. That could
be good news for players like
Walker, Curt Schilling (61

percent this year) and Omar
Vizquel (43 percent). Walker
has only one chance left, but
Schilling and Vizquel have an
opportunity to make progress
in 2020 and then again in 2021,
when the group of newcomers
appears less formidable.
Sabermetric darling?
If you’re looking for an underthe-radar candidate who looks
pretty impressive through the
lens of advanced stats, Bobby
Abreu is eligible in 2020. Abreu
was just a two-time All-Star,
but he ﬁnished with a career
on-base percentage of .395.
According to Baseball-Reference.com, Abreu was worth 60
wins above replacement for his
career — roughly the same as
Vladimir Guerrero, who went
into the Hall of Fame in 2018.

Halladay won two Cy
Young Awards, one each
with Toronto and Philadelphia, before ending his
career in 2013 at 36 years
old due to back injuries.
The right-hander was a
ﬁrst-round draft pick by
Toronto in 1995, debuted
in the majors in 1998 and
struggled terribly until
being demoted to the

himself and became an
All-Star in 2002, then
won 22 games and an AL
Cy Young in 2003.
Halladay’s best season
came in 2010, his ﬁrst
following a blockbuster
trade to Philadelphia.
Halladay pitched a perfect game against the
Florida Marlins in May,
then delivered a no-hitter
against Cincinnati in the
opener of the NL Division Series. It was just
the second no-hitter in
postseason history after
the Yankees’ Don Larsen
pitched a perfect game
against Brooklyn in the
1956 World Series.
In an era marked by
pitch counts and early
hooks, Halladay was a
workhorse. Since 2000,
