Amazin' Avenue, a New York Mets community

Jose was one of those guys who, to me, no matter what team or what role they had, just wanted to have fun and testimonials from fans who met him back this up. Sucks to see a guy I always enjoyed watching die at an early age. For one last time, it's Lima Time.

Jose Lima is attempting to make a comeback to the major leagues. He will be pitching for the Long Beach Armada of the Golden League, an independent professional league. The Armada is the same team that Jose Canseco played for in 2006. Their season starts today. Here's an interview with the Armada's manager Garry Templeton from the blog "Jorge Says No!". According to Templeton, Lima still throws between 88-90 MPH and can help a major league organization.
