jose-limaEvery now and then, there is a moment is sports which makes all of us stop and ponder. On Sunday, football fans put down their NFL betting guide, college football fans slowed their college football betting advice and MLB fans stopped playing pitch and catch when they lost one of their own.

Former MLB All-Star, Jose Lima, who was 37-years-old, died of a heart attack on Sunday, which shocked the world. Lima was not known to have any health conditions, so it came as a big surprise. He is survived by his wife and five children.

Lima used to call his pitching outings “Lima Time” and he had a very vibrant personality. He had a couple of fantastic seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros throughout his career and had recently joined the Dodgers alumni squad.

He will be missed and it serves as a reminder of just how fragile life actually is. A lot of Latin born players around the Majors were surprised and those who bet on sports will see a number of commemorations for him in the coming days. Players such as David Ortiz, Jose Reyes and Jose Guillen were very close with Lima and Guillen will wear his initials to commemorate him.

Sports betting lines will still go on and we will all miss Lima Time, who was taken from us too soon.
