Chisoxrd5 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Ken Caminiti 1996 N.L. MVP, Dies at Age 41 Yahoo News Ben Walker, AP Sports Writer Although he was 41...can't say I'm overally suprised at this one. He never really took care of his body the way someone should. But my condolonces go out to his family, friends and former teammates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I was really shocked when I saw that. I always get to my computer class a bit early and browse ESPN.com. That one caught me off guard big time. RIP Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 That shocked the heck out of me when they reported that on the radio. I knew he did stuff he shouldn't have, but I didn't think he ran his body down that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 That shocked the heck out of me when they reported that on the radio. I knew he did stuff he shouldn't have, but I didn't think he ran his body down that bad. FWIW.. It's my opinion that the Coke killed him not the roids. From what I have heard roids appear to be linked more to stomach and liver issues versus heart issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have heard roids appear to be linked more to stomach and liver issues versus heart issues. That's what they were saying on the radio. I remember hearing something about him having a drug problem (besides the roids issue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 I guess I should apoligize for posting this b/c of the Ken Caminiti thread in the Palehose board...but lets be serious doesnt it belong here anyway? I didnt think to look there to see if this story had been discussed on that board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Honestly it isn't a big deal either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 RIP. He lived hard but he sure knew how to hit a baseball. Its a shame that a player who was decent even off of steroids will always be remembered for fessing up to using steroids in '96. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about it, I think I have heard the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Doing coke after abusing your body with roids isn't the best combo, wasn't really shocked when i saw this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt think to look there to see if this story had been discussed on that board Technically, you are right. It should have been posted here. However, when I posted there, it was breaking news and I knew more people would see it on the Palehose board. In fact, I expected it to be moved at some point.
