Roy Halladay loses his perfect driving record twice in the same day

Former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay had his perfect driving record broken up by a police officer Tuesday afternoon. Halladay had gone 38 years without a speeding ticket before his chance at a perfect driving record was ruined.

Halladay was caught speeding Tuesday afternoon. He celebrated his first ever ticket with a selfie.

Halladay's tweet was pretty respectful. He acknowledged that he was speeding, and added the hastag #protectandserve, implying that the officer was just doing his job.

If the goal of the ticket was to discourage Halladay from speeding again ... well ...

Yep, Halladay got pulled over by the same cop on the same day. We actually don't know why he was pulled over the second time, or if Halladay received another ticket.

Either way, it's entertaining. Again, Halladay seemed to handle the situation well. He managed to make a joke about himself in the second tweet. It's pretty normal for people to be angry after being pulled over, so he appreciate that Halladay can laugh at himself despite having a bad day on the road.

We don't feel particularly bad about Halladay losing his perfect driving record, though. He's already got a perfect game under his belt, and he can brag about that any day.
