Popular former Astros pitcher Lima dies at age 37

For Jose Lima, it was time. And to those who knew and played along side him, it came way too soon.
Lima, the former Astros pitcher who became a fan favorite almost overnight for his flamboyant personality and fledgling musical career as much as his meteoric rise – and equally fast fall – on the mound, died Sunday of a massive heart attack at his home in Los Angeles. He was 37.
Known affectionately as “Lima Time,” the veteran of 13 major league seasons and six teams joined the Astros in 1997 in a multiplayer trade from Detroit to begin a 4½ -season stint with the team.

Rest in Peace, Jose.

How does a former professional athlete die of a heart attack at such a young age?

Lima Time had some good times with the Mets, too. He didn't pitch particularly well, but he pitched better than the other bad options the Mets had at the time. For the Mets, that is Good Enough!
Lima Time was a man of many talents (not all of them useful). He will be missed!
(especially by the Mets, who could have used him in place of Ollie Perez this year.)

That's not Lima. That's the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish.
