Did Halladay's family decide this?  Seems kinda odd since he spent 12 years with the Blue Jays and only 4 with Philly.  

 

EDIT:  To answer my own questions, yes, his family did make the decision.  From https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/baseball-hall-of-fame-cap-selections-announced-mike-mussina-and-roy-halladay-head-to-cooperstown-without-team-logo/

The late Halladay went on to pitch 12 seasons with the Blue Jays, who drafted him in 1995, before signing with the Phillies as a free agent in 2010 where he went on to spend four seasons in Philadelphia. Brandy Halladay released the following statement:

"Roy was incredibly proud of his accomplishments with both the Blue Jays and the Phillies," said Brandy Halladay, Roy's wife. "We spent many great years in Toronto, where he established his career and became a Cy Young-winning pitcher. In Philadelphia, he reached the Postseason, threw two no-hitters and won a second Cy Young Award. As a family, and with the blessing of the Hall of Fame, we feel confident that Roy would have come to the same conclusion, had he known it to be an option. Both franchises, and their fans, meant so much to him."
