The Philadelphia Phillies will retire Roy Halladay's jersey on the 10th anniversary of his perfect game.
The Phillies announced Tuesday that Halladay's No. 34 will be retired May 29 prior to the game against Washington at Citizens Bank Park. Fans will receive a statue commemorating the event.
In addition, the Phillies will unveil a 6-foot statue of Halladay's No. 34 at Third Base Plaza. The ceremony will take place on the 10th anniversary of the perfect game Halladay pitched against Florida in 2010.
"Roy Halladay made an indelible mark on Phillies history with so many spectacular moments, including his perfect game and postseason no-hitter," Phillies Executive Vice President David Buck said in a statement. "His impact on the game was evident by his induction into the Hall of Fame. We are honored to have Roy join an elite group of players to have their numbers retired by the Phillies."
Halladay, who died in a November 2017 plane crash, pitched four seasons with the Phillies, winning the 2010 Cy Young Award. During those four seasons, Halladay led the majors in complete games (18) and ranked fourth in the National League in wins (55).
