Other baseball players to die in plane crashes included Pittsburgh Pirates star Roberto Clemente in a relief mission from Puerto Rico travelling to earthquake victims in Nicaragua on New Year’s Eve in 1972 New York Yankees catcher Thurman Munson piloting his own plane near his home in Canton, Ohio, in 1979 and Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle piloting his own plane in New York City in 2006. “There are no words to describe the sadness that the entire Phillies family is feeling over the loss of one of the most respected human beings to ever play the game.” “We are numb over the very tragic news about Roy Halladay’s untimely death,” the Phillies said in a statement. Halladay spent 12 seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays followed by four seasons with the Phillies. The NTSB report said the probable cause was “the pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from terrain while manoeuvring at a low altitude.” On May 8, two Icon employees, the company’s lead test pilot and the director of engineering, were killed in a crash in an A5 in Napa County, California. The A5 was a newer model from Icon, based in Vacaville, California. I was very against it,” Brandy Halladay said in the same video, before explaining why she eventually understood and approved of her husband’s desire to have the plane. “She’s fought me the whole way,” Halladay said.

In the video, Halladay said the terms of his baseball contract prevented him from having a pilot’s license while playing, and that his wife was originally against the idea of him getting the aircraft. The video showed Halladay taking delivery of a new Icon A5, a two-seat “light-sport aircraft” that can land on water. Icon aircraft had posted a video with Halladay trying out a new plane. “I have dreamed about owning a A5 since I retired! Real life is better then my dreams!!” Halladay tweeted on Oct. Halladay, who retired after the 2013 season, was an amateur pilot who often posted on social media about small planes. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating. Police said they couldn’t confirm if there were additional passengers on the plane or say where it was headed. The sheriff’s office marine unit responded and found Halladay’s body in shallow water near some mangroves. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said during a news conference that Halladay’s ICON A5 went down around noon off the coast of Florida. Roy Halladay, a two-time Cy Young Award winner who pitched a perfect game and a playoff no-hitter for the Philadelphia Phillies, died Tuesday when his private plane crashed into the Gulf of Mexico.
