Ken Caminiti was a fine player but not a HOF. I enjoyed watching him for years, & knew him a little when I worked there, but he is a not a HOF (& he admitted to steroid & drug use, etc. before it killed him). It is not the Hall of Very Good, it is the elite of elite. RIP Cammy - he was a different guy but his best friends loved him like Biggio, Baggy, Kile, etc.

Agree...a great player but not HOF worthy. If he'd steered clear of some of the off-field issues he may have played longer and been more deserving.


Still, one of my favorite former Astros.:(
