JOSE LIMA 1972 - 2010
This man, Jose Lima, is gone far too soon, lost at 37 after a massive heart attack. It’s a hell of a tribute to know that he managed to find love from fans just about everywhere he went, from Houston to Los Angeles and all points in between. As a Dodger fan I can only find it in myself to say “Thanks, Jose.” We will always have 2004 and that one glorious playoff game because of you. It’s a sad shame that we won’t have you around to reminisce about it.

I was so sorry to hear of his untimely passing. He was such a character! He made quite an impression in his short time with the time.

Sad too because he had only just come back into the Dodger family as a consultant on youth baseball outreach programs. He was at the game on Friday and got a hell of a standing ovation. He was sometimes a maddening pitcher in terms of his inconsistency, but always entertaining, and his attitude was always good for the game.
