Emotional Roy Halladay tribute gives baseball fans all the feels on 15th anniversary of his NLDS no-hitter

The Phillies are reaching back into their past for inspiration on their 2025 MLB playoff run.

Monday marks the 15th anniversary of Halladay's postseason debut in which he threw his magical NLDS no-hitter.

On Oct. 6, 2010, Doc took the mound at Citizens Bank Park for Game 1 of the NLDS and spun a masterful performance, no-hitting the Cincinnati Reds in a 4-0 Phillies win.

With the players and fans anxiously awaiting the start of Game 2, everyone took a moment to remember Halladay and the greatness he brought to the game everytime he took the mound, but most especially on that October day in 2010.

The Phillies played a tribute video at the ballpark, showing the final out of Halladay's masterpiece, when catcher Carlos Ruiz grabbed a dribbler in front of the plate and threw out Jay Bruce at first base.

Halladay's sons Braden and Ryan then took the field to throw out the ceremonial first pitch to Ruiz himself.

After toiling away as one of baseball's best pitchers for most of the 2000s decade on a Toronto Blue Jays team going nowhere fast, Halladay was granted a trade to a contender for the 2010 season.

He delivered and then some in his first season in Phillies red pinstripes, going 21-10 with a 2.44 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.

Halladay tragically passed away in an airplane accident on Nov. 7, 2017.

He has been honored multiple times since by both the Blue Jays and Phillies and was inducted posthumously into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019.
