On this day: Toronto Blue Jays legend Roy Hallady threw a no-hitter in his first postseason appearance

After a masterful 13 year career with our Toronto Blue Jays and solidifying himself as the games best pitcher, but one thing was always missing, and that was post season baseball. In the 2010 season, Roy Halladay took his talents to the Philadelphia Phillies organization. He secured his 2nd Cy Young award and the league's most valuable pitcher and accomplished his 2nd career 20+ win season.

But over everything, the most special thing came in October, when he got his first taste of play off baseball and di the unthinkable. During his first postseason appearance, Roy Halladay threw a no-hitter, which has become one of, if not the greatest pitching performances in MLB postseason history.

Halladay delivered the 0-2 pitch, and Brandon Phillips hit a dribbler but catcher Carlos Ruiz was able to handle the ball and get him out at first base which became an emotional scene quickly.

It was a big blow to the Blue Jays to lose out on their star pitcher, but the move made sense and fans always forgave him for him going after the ultimate dream of winning a World Series. Even though they never won, Halladay will go down as one of the best starting pitchers of all-time.
