Halladay Does Ice Bucket Challenge, Defends Amaro on Twitter

Roy Halladay is quite the man. This past weekend, he was in town to help induct Charlie Manuel into/onto the Phillies Wall of Fame. He also took the time to actually go to the Zoo with “Zoo with Roy.”

Today, he’s busy raising money for ALS by taking part in the Ice Bucket Challenge, a new fad making its way around social media circles. With that, he challenged Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. He then wondered aloud, via tweets, why people are on Ruben’s ass all the time.

Halladay has since deleted it, but it was captured in a screen shot by our friend Matt there. Interesting look into the true feelings of a guy who knows Amaro well.
