Ken Caminiti, who won the National League MVP in 1996, died Sunday, Oct. 10, 2004, in the Bronx, New York, of an apparent heart attack. He was 41. In his career, he hit .272 with 239 home runs and 983 RBIs. He was selected by the Astros in the third round of the 1984 amateur draft and had debuted with Houston in 1987. Caminiti's play on the field had been tainted by his admissions of what he had done as a player. At the conclusion of his career in the major leagues, Caminiti had admitted to using steroids. In September 2004, Caminiti had admitted in court in Houston that he had violated his probation and had tested positive for cocaine use. He had been sentenced to 180 days in jail. The judge had given him credit for 189 days he had served in jail and in a treatment facility since he was sentenced to three years probation for an arrest on cocaine charges in 2001, according to wire reports.

Extractions: (c) Houston Astros NEW YORK (AP) Ken Caminiti , the 1996 National League MVP who later admitted using steroids during his major league career, died Sunday. He was 41. Caminiti died of a heart attack in the Bronx, said his agent-lawyer Rick Licht. The city medical examiner's office said an autopsy would be performed Monday, spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said. "I'm still in shock," San Diego Padres general manager Kevin Towers said. "He was one of my favorite all-time players." The three-time All-Star third baseman often was in trouble the last few years. His 15-year big league career ended in 2001, five seasons after he led the Padres to a division title and was a unanimous pick for MVP. Just last Tuesday, he admitted in a Houston court that he violated his probation by testing positive for cocaine last month, and was sentenced to 180 days in jail. But state District Judge William Harmon gave Caminiti credit for the 189 days he already served in jail and a treatment facility since he was sentenced to three years probation for a cocaine arrest in March 2001. In May 2002, Caminiti told Sports Illustrated that he used steroids during his MVP season, when he hit a career-high .326 with 40 home runs and 130 RBIs. He estimated half the players in the big leagues were also using them.
