October 11, 200421 yr ESPN Bottom Line just reported that Camenetti died of a heart attack at age 41. Really haven't seen that any where. I have just checked every where.
October 11, 200421 yr Wow. Just wow RIP Ken BTW...its importance is low, but I edited the spelling of Caminiti Edited October 11, 200421 yr by witesoxfan
October 11, 200421 yr This is sad to hear. I hope this opens some players eyes as to how dangerous steroids actually are.
October 11, 200421 yr I saw that too. That's crazy. I went to junior high with one of his nephews. Shows you what roids can do. Very sad.
October 11, 200421 yr Author Wow. Just wow RIP Ken BTW...its importance is low, but I edited the spelling of Caminiti Thank you. They just ran the story on SportsCenter.
October 11, 200421 yr RIP Ken and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family members and friends. I hate hearing news like this.
October 11, 200421 yr This has a chance to get really bad in the next 5-10 years, as far as I can tell a lot of players used steroids, and those things f*** your body up really bad
October 11, 200421 yr It wasn't just roids, he got busted for coke all of the time. I think a couple years ago he got busted in a Motel with a couples of whores in possesion of crack. I wanna say it was right after he came out in SI.
October 11, 200421 yr Not roids, he tested positive for crack one. Cocaine f***s up the heart, WOW WHat an arm that dude had RIP KEN
October 11, 200421 yr Not roids, he tested positive for crack one. Cocaine f***s up the heart, WOW WHat an arm that dude had RIP KEN He admitted to doing roids. Both screw up your heart.
October 11, 200421 yr Holy s***. I was always a Cammy fan back in his days with the Padres. It was tough how he had to go through the substance abuse stuff as well as Cokaine. I gotta say this came out of absolutely nowhere. RIP.
October 11, 200421 yr YUP! Cocaine gets your heart going real quick. I know I got a good buddy who does coke
October 11, 200421 yr Author He had it all. He made some poor choices and has now paid the ultimate price. It's a shame, but he's not the first.
October 11, 200421 yr Here's the link http://espn.go.com/classic/obit/s/2004/1010/1899091.html Thanx i just saw it. I have been waiting to see it on t.v. ever since yasny posted it. RIP Caminiti.
October 11, 200421 yr I remember Ken for 2 plays 1 was a ball he caught deep in the hole the 3rd and threw a strike to first and 2 was a play he dived and laying down on the floor threw a strike to first nailing the runner by 3 steps
October 11, 200421 yr RIP Ken. But to me this begs the question to everyone who uses this stuff now, is it worth it? Is the guy who is trying to get the big contract going to pay the ultimate price in return for the extra HRs? Hopefully today's young athletes take and learn from this. And hopefully MLB learns from it also, ditches this s***ty testing program, and goes to something like the olympics has where being busted once can result in years worth of suspensions, and forfietures of prizes.

It seems Bud Selig is happy with the way the game's going right now. He won't take anything into consideration to change that, not even the players' health.

October 11, 200421 yr The Player's Association should be held accountable for the current stand on steriods, too. More so than Selig. The players are the ones who are stopping the progress on this issue. The owners want to protect their investments.
October 11, 200421 yr The Player's Association should be held accountable for the current stand on steriods, too. Not just roids either. Roids are not even close to as widely used as other drugs. Very sad situation.
