Lest we forget the Great Doctor and Cy Young Collector Harry Leroy "Roy" Halladay III. What better day to raise a glass to Doc than on a day for baseball heroes everywhere?

Last week, the Daily News named Doc Sportsperson of 2010, just shortly after he was named runner up for "the man" by Sports Illustrated. But, hey. There's always next year. From the Daily News article:

"Here's what I never realized about Philly," Halladay said. "You always hear that they're tough fans and they boo everybody and this and that. But you really don't realize what good sports fans they are. It's not like every other city where certain people show up just to boo. There are people all over the city who are really drawn to the sports teams there. It's unlike any place I've ever been in before."

Halladay loved Toronto. To this day, Toronto still loves him. But that town, like most others, is a place of diverse interests, a melting pot of cultures from around the globe. "There are certain parts of New York where you'll hit some Yankee fans," Halladay said. "But it's not everybody.

"In Philly, it always feels as if it's everybody."

Thanks, Doc. For everything.
