This video is about "Roy Halladay's Silent Struggle." Roy Halladay is a Baseball Hall of Famer and was a 2x Cy Young Award winning pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies. This is the final episode in the Four Aces Series, a series highlighting each of the four Phillies' starting pitchers from their 2011 staff. Halladay had one of the most impressive careers of all time, but had his silent struggles. He dealt with depression, anxiety, and addiction something that wasn't known until after his death in 2017, at just 40yearsold. Roy Halladay was my favorite baseball player growing up and this video is meant as a tribute to Doc; to help explain what he went through and appreciate his incredible career.

This video took by far the longest to make of all the videos on my channel, and it's the one I'm most proud of. I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did making it.
