No. 4: Halladay wins his second Cy Young Award

The 2010 Phillies were easily the best team in the National League that year during the regular season, finishing the year five wins better than the second-best team in the league. Leading the way during the season was none other than Halladay. He finished the year with a 21-10 record as the team was 22-11 in his starts.

Halladay’s regular season was one for the ages as he led the National League with 21 wins, nine complete games, four shutouts, 250.2 innings pitched, 1.1 walks per nine innings, and a 7.30 strikeout-to-walk ratio. His resume that year included two historical starts (more on those later) as well as plenty of other dominant performances.

When the end of the season rolled around, it was hard to argue against anyone other than Halladay winning the Cy Young that year. In fact, he was the unanimous winner that year, becoming just the 20th pitcher in MLB history to achieve that feat. Halladay’s dominance that year every Phillies fan will remember for as long as they live.
