"Baseball is a short career, and I'm going to enjoy every single day. Everybody should. If you don't like what I do, take me deep. You can dance around at every base if you want, I don't mind. I'm not going to stop being who I am." - Jose Lima in Sports Illustrated (Kostya Kennedy, June 14, 1999, 'The Mambo King')
