Video shows Roy Halladay was showboating before plane crashed

New York Mets v Philadelphia Phillies

Former MLB pitcher Roy Halladay was known for his even temperament and for quietly doing his job on the mound, without needing validation or excessively celebrating his achievements.

That’s why the video that was recently released showing him flying over the Gulf of Mexico just before his plane crashed is a bit surprising.

According to eyewitnesses that spoke to TMZ, Halladay’s plane was spotted “dramatically increasing and decreasing in elevation.”

Another witness had this to say:

“He was flying like that all week. Aggressively.”

The video backs that statement up, too.
