Similar to Bunning, Doc started off his Philly tenure pretty well. It is impressive when you can say a perfect game was your second-best start of the year. In Halladay’s best year, which included two no hitters an All Star selection and a Cy Young Award, he threw the second perfect game in Phillies history.
We knew Halladay had the ability to provide dominant starts when he was acquired after the 2009 season. However, I don’t think anyone expected him to come to Philadelphia and throw a perfect game in May, followed by just the second postseason no-hitter ever later that year.

These were the best starts in the history of the Phillies. Hopefully, even better ones are in the near future.
