Guerrero, Halladay inducted into Canadian Baseball HOF

Vladimir Guerrero may have fallen just short of being inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame a little over two weeks ago, but he's still going to be celebrated north of the border.

Guerrero, along with former starting pitcher Roy Halladay, Baseball Canada president Ray Carter, umpire Doug Hudlin, and the 2015 Canadian senior men's Pan-Am gold squad were inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame on Thursday.

The 41-year-old Guerrero, who spent eight years as a member of the Montreal Expos, told Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith he was "surprised and excited" to hear he had been inducted.

Guerrero was a dominant player for the Expos in his prime, hitting .323./390/.588 with 234 home runs, 702 RBIs, while also playing superior defense in right field.

The nine-time All-Star would eventually win an American League MVP in 2004 with the Anaheim Angels, and owned a career slash line of .318/.379/.553 with 449 home runs and 1,496 RBIs.

Halladay is arguably the greatest starting pitcher to ever take the hill for the Toronto Blue Jays. The two-time Cy Young winner and owner of a perfect game pitched for 12 years in Toronto, winning 148 games, while posting a 3.43 ERA during 2,046 2/3 innings.

"Toronto has been my home away from home throughout my career and even to this day," Halladay said of being inducted.

During his first Cy Young campaign with the Blue Jays in 2003, Halladay pitched 266 innings, won 22 games, and threw nine complete games.

Over the course of his career Halladay was the epitome of a workhorse, earning a solid 203-105 record with a 3.38 ERA and 1.18 WHIP during 416 appearances, which included 390 starts.

The official induction ceremony will take place on June 24.
