Perfect (driving) game spoiled: Halladay snaps selfie getting first speeding ticket
Former pitching great Roy Halladay clearly took the news that he was about to get a speeding ticket in stride, as evidenced by the selfie he snapped of himself grinning after he was pulled over by a police officer while out and about recently.
Halladay did lament in his tweet, though, that the speeding ticket for going 58 mph in a 45-mph zone marred his otherwise “perfect driving record.” The former ace of the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies -- and owner of a perfect game and playoff no-hitter -- also posted evidence of the ticket in question.

Halladay is no stranger to social-media fun, as he once snapped a photo of himself with an oblivious Phillies fan wearing a jersey bearing his name.
Good stuff. Halladay felt much better about the former social-media pic he snapped on the sly as opposed to the latter. Obviously.
