Loved "Lima Time" when he was playing for the Dodgers.  The guy always looked like he was having as much fun as someone who just got plucked out of the stands and thrown out on the pitcher's mound.  He also won the team's first playoff game in about two decades.  Very sad to see a guy with his infectious positive personality go so soon.

RIP

Baseball needs more players like Lima. His love for the game was in no way contrived and he was an enjoyable player to watch, whether or not he was performing at a high level. RIP.

It's always surreal to me when athletes pass away  at such a young age, especially guys that you grew up watching. Sometimes it's easy to forget that these guys are mortal too...RIP.
