Yesterday was the memorial service for Roy Halladay. Halladay was killed last week in a plane crash and many teammates of his as well as his wife spoke. Matt Gelb of Philly.com tweeted everything but perhaps the most moving came from his widow. “I still get to see him every day,” she said to her sons, “because I look at you.” Baseball is still in shock over his loss and we here at MMO send our best wishes to the Halladay family.
