So what, a lot of MLB Hall of Famers are sitting in Cooperstown as cheaters.

The teams can honor whoever they want and the steroid era was just a footnote in baseball history.

Cooperstown can snub their noses at whoever they want and I don't care what anyone says, Barry Bonds and Pete Rose are hall of famers.



Ok, first, you're very sensitive. Second, this isn't about Cooperstown.

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.

Yes Cam did juice, no doubt about it.

But, he left every ounce of his soul on the Diamond every day.

Also, google his highlights....made one play at 3rd that will live for all time, Boog Powell ish.

Caminiti had a .730 OPS and only hit 100 or so homers in his time with Houston. Why exactly are they honoring him?

If we’re naming ex-Astros in a Caminiti thread, Dave Smith seems fitting

Surfer boy from CA just like him

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

Comparing a guy with ALS to a round freak that OD’d and still didn’t really have all that good of a career is certainly a strategy
