Roy Halladay Playoff No-Hitter: Power Ranking His Top 10 Pitching Performances

Mathew DavisOct 6, 2010

There's certainly going to be an influx of Roy Halladay articles popping up in the next day or so, and it's easy to see why.

Halladay is only the second pitcher in MLB playoff history to throw a no-hitter and the first in over 50 years since Yankee Don Larsen pitched his perfect game against the Dodgers in the 1956 World Series.

He's also thrown his second no-hitter of the season, the first being a perfect game.

Certainly Roy is seen as one of the best, if not the best pitcher in the game right now. In the past decade it seems like every year he's been at the forefront of that conversation.

So what better time than now, after the best game of his career, to compile a list of his all-time greatest performances?

I bring you Doc's top 10...
