The baseball world is mourning the sudden death of All Star pitcher Jose Lima, who died today of a of a massive heart attack at the age of 37. The right-hander , who referred to his outings on the field as “Lima Time” won 13 games for the Dodgers in 2004. His best season, however, occurred in 1999, when he was chosen to play in the All-Star game with the Houston Astros, for whom it went 46-42 from 1997-2001. He also went “21-10 in thirty five starts with a 3.58 ERA for the National League Central Champions.” “Lima was an exceptional man. This is a great loss for Dominican baseball and the country,” stated Winston Llenas , president of the Aquilas Cibaenas, a winter ball team Lima had played for in the Dominican Republic. While some heart attacks may come on suddenly and be very intense, most begin slowly with only mild pains or feelings of discomfort in the center of the chest that seem to come and go in waves. People often feel pressure or uncomfortable “squeezing”, as well as pain in their arms, back, neck and jaw. They may also experience a shortness of breath, feel light headed and break out in a cold sweat. Others have even reported having stomach pains and nausea. It is recommended that anyone experiencing these symptoms should take an aspirin immediately and call 911, even if they are not sure that it is a heart attack. The sooner you take action, the better your chances of survival. |
