  Terrible news. He was a character. I still have a ball he tossed to me during BP at Yankee Stadium when he was with the Royals.
• Benny The Jet

  

  Very sad to hear, always liked how much enthusiasm he had on the mound. He had fun playing the game.

  He was always a pretty good pitcher and I always enjoyed watching him

  Deadspin comment:
  In honor of his passing, Melissa Lima will lower her breasts to half mast.
  
  
  
  
  But in all seriousness, this is sad to hear. A heart attack at 37 is definitely a bad thing. Jose was a little crazy, but at least he kept it interesting.

  Very sad.
  
  
  He had some antics that bothered some but it was really just him.
  
  I do feel he purposely creampuffed a fastball down the pipe a couple of times to Sammy late in that season of 98.

  RIP Jose
  
  
  On a serious note, I'm curious to know if steroids played a role in the 37 year old's heart attack.

  ...He was always a favorite of Jim Rome, so I would guess that will be his lead in story tomorrow.
  
  RIP Jose
