Numbers on Steroids: Ken Caminiti

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you.

Mr. Caminiti won an MVP award. That's pretty much a joke. Let's look at when he all of a sudden became the roided superman.

Averages Say: Mediocre in his 20s but Superb in His 30s?

At Bats Per Home Run Says: And at 31 He Became a Power Hitter

Explaining It Away

Umm... Umm.. Umm... He was a late bloomer? Seriously I've got nothing. How many players in the history of baseball became twice the player in their 30s that they were in their 20s? His best 7 seasons came in his 30s. Not one of his best 7 seasons came in his 20s. That's ridiculous.

The Verdict

Well he admitted steroid use so that makes it factual, but the evidence is quite strong even without the admition. Ken Caminiti should be the poster-boy for what steroid use can do. He grew from a good baseball player to an MVP in his 30s. He screwed up his body and his mind and died at the age of 41.

Words Can Not Describe How Blatantly Obvious This Is

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
