Roy Halladay threw a no hitter against the Reds in the 2010 NLDS. Joey Votto recalled a funny moment between himself and the late Hallday at the 2011 All-Star Game.

"I need to like throw him off in such a way that maybe he gets rattled and hits me," Votto said. "I get in the box and as Roy gets on the mound, I call timeout. I take a pitch or two and then I call timeout again.

"I ended up making an out that at bat and next year at the All-Star Game, he said hey remember when you called timeout twice during that at bat? I wanted to kill you. If I could have, I would have walked to home plate and choked you to death."

Halladay passed away in 2017.
