This is a bizzare title that makes it sound like he meant to crash his plane.

Looks like a kit plane like John Denver’s.

But Halladay will be best known for playing for the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies from 1998-2013, and for being one of just six MLB pitchers to win the Cy Young award for both American and International play.

Huh?

Do they mean "American and National Leagues?" WTF?

Oh no... 2nd Icon 5 to go down where those aboard perished. Prayers to the Halladay family.

Google the Wing Design, John Roncz, and the Patents to make this bird Stall Proof, doesn't make sense, I want to know more...

I just saw him pitch a couple of months ago at the NBC tournament in Wichita. He was on the Kansas All-Stars which was a team of former major leaguers.

Sad day here. Roy Halladay was one of my son’s baseball coaches. A nicer man (and his wife and children) you would never meet. My kids go to school with his and I will never forget the time my son did a report on airplanes (his favorite topic), and Roy came up to him afterwards and told him how much he enjoyed his report and then they talked about airplanes for a few minutes.

Prayers up to his family.

Man, only 40.

Hope he knew the Lord.

Prayers for the family and the scores of others saddened by the news.

Part of the Phillies’ dream pitching team of a few years back that on paper looked like one of the best ever assembled - then a few minor injuries, the Phils’ usual anemic hitting, and a silly trade or two and the dream’s gone like smoke in the wind.....

That sucks. He was a big favorite of Blue Jay fans.

Very sad news indeed. One thing that strikes me here, this appears to be a plane on the cutting edge of technology, a folding wing amphibian.

It is a truism that the more things that can be done, the more modes of failure lurk.
