Ken did it all. Crack, steroids, opiates, cocaine, heroin, alcohol, women.

I went after a game to collect autographs once at the Astrodome and watch Caminiti leave in his jacked-up truck. He looked the part.

He was the source for many who became steroid users for a few teams. I know there were Astros players that became gym rats during his time and later with Clemens, and I'll leave it at that.

I'll go ahead and mention Luis Gonzalez as one.

He started drinking heavily in middle school after he was sexually abused. The fact he made it to the majors as an addicted tells you how talented he was. His ashes are under an Oak Tree on Biggio's ranch.

Imagine the damage he and Lenny Dykstra could do in a weekend.
