A friend's son played with Lima in AAA when he was on the way up and Lima was hanging on. "Lima Time" also occurred in the locker room and on the bus and planes. He was one of the great clubhouse crack up guys.
It is so sad for his son and family . He was helping out at a HS where is girlfriend's daughter is attending. My friend is the head coach and had said Jose just wanted to share his love of the game. He said he just brought so much energy to the field. My heart goes out all who where close to him.
I remember in 1998 and 1999 when it was Lima time in the AstroDome and all the Salsa music was playing. Jose was a hotdog, but he was a FUN hotdog who loved his fans and they loved him.
He played with such passion. Very sad.
Lima time, baby! Believe it!
Never forget when he gave Jim Rome his 20th win game ball, after promising he would if he won 20 games. Colorful guy, and a lot of fun to hear interviewed.

He was a hard guy not to watch when he got the ball. Had some good seasons. Very sad for his family.
