''I haven't really talked to them but yeah, I'd love to play here as long as I can, as long as they'll have me,'' said Halladay, who could have been a free agent last fall had he not signed the previous deal.
''I wanted a chance to win, but in Toronto. I didn't want to go somewhere else and win, so to be able to see that start happening is nice because that's what they were (planning) and few times does it actually work where they can do something like that.''
Halladay's desire to succeed with the Blue Jays is refreshing in an age where many baseball players act like paid mercenaries, lacking loyalty while seeking out big money from top teams. That's why, aside from his dominance on the mound, he is the face of the Blue Jays.
