Ken Caminiti followed up his 1996 MVP season with a .290 average and 26 home runs. This would prove to be the last solid season of Caminiti’s career as injuries and substance abuse problems took their toll. Just a few years after retiring from the game, Caminiti was found dead of an overdose in 2004, a tragic end to a one-tine MVP and Padres legend.
This Rawlings 456A model bat is un-cracked and shows excellent use. Caminiti’s number “21” is written on the knob and barrel ends and the Padres star has signed the barrel in silver ink. The bat comes with a full GU 8.5 graded LOA from PSA/DNA (1B12864) for the game use and a full LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication for the signature.
