History

This is a Chatham Coloured All-Stars jersey, autographed by Roy Halladay.

The Toronto Blue Jays commemorated the Chatham Coloured All-Stars team by wearing these jerseys in 2001 and 2002 for a few games. The Chatham Coloured All-Stars played in the 1930s and won the OBA Championship in 1934. On Sunday, July 15, 2001, the Toronto Blue Jays wore Chatham All-Stars replica jerseys in a game at Shea Stadium against the New York Mets, who wore the jerseys of the New York Cubans. This was a special tribute to the Negro leagues and their contribution to baseball. In 2002, the Blue Jays paid tribute to the All-Stars again by wearing their replica jerseys in a home game on Saturday, July 13 vs Boston. Descendants of some of the All-Stars were featured at the game, with the last two surviving members, Sagasta Harding and Don Tabron, throwing the opening pitch, along with Earl "Flat" Chase’s son, Horace.

Roy Halladay was an American professional baseball pitcher who played in the MLB between 1998 and 2013 for the Toronto Blue Jays and the Philadelphia Phillies. Halladay was an 8 time All-Star, and a 2 time Cy Young Award winner. Halladay pitched a perfect game for the Philadelphia Phillies on May 29, 2010, and a postseason no-hitter later that same season, on October 6, 2010. Halladay's number 32 has been retired by the Toronto Blue Jays and Halladay was added to the Toronto Blue Jays' Level of Excellence.

Halladay was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2017, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019.
