    Default Former MLB pitcher Roy Halladay's plane has crashed off Florida

    Not yet known but is believed that he was flying the plane.

    Pretty shitty. Doc was an awesome pitcher and seemed like good guy. I remember him taking out full page ad's in all the Toronto papers when he was moved.

    UPDATE: Confirmed, Roy Halladay was the pilot.

    Confirmed it was him. Damnit.
    Two-time Cy Young winner Roy Halladay died when his single-engine plane crashed in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, according to the Pasco Sheriff in Florida.

    The plane was registered to Halladay's father crashed and plunged into water that was six feet deep, according to police. Halladay was the lone passenger.

    The Pasco Sheriff's Office Marine Unit responded to a call at noon ET that a single-engine, light-sport category aircraft matching Halladay's tail numbers was "upside down in shallow water" and that recovery efforts were ongoing.

    He's apparently been in some kind of marketing partnership with this particular airplane manufacturer.

    Bad news all around on that deal.

    That sucks. Been a shit year to be an MLB pitcher. Roy was one of my all time favorites because of his Colorado ties.

    Sad to see this. He was a great pitcher. When he had the sinker going, it was unhittable.

    Was reading up on a previous crash with their head engineer - definitely wouldn't have much confidence in the safety of this thing now.

    I guess he was flying low also. Low hour pilot flying low in a new type of airplane isn't a good thing. The concept of the plane is awesome. But a twin otter would be soooo much better.

    But maybe the plane isn't as much at fault as the pilot. Ugh.

    Total pilot error. But I think some other types would help a dumbass pilot better.
