- Ken Caminiti blended brute power and acrobatic defense in his four seasons with the Padres. He was the first player in franchise history to win the National League MVP award, the unanimous choice in 1996 after batting .326/.408/.621 with 40 home runs and 130 RBI. A Silver Slugger, two-time San Diego All-Star and Gold Glover in three straight seasons (1995-97), Caminiti was posthumously inducted into the Padres Hall of Fame in 2016.

90s was the best time to be a padres kid.
Amen to that I practically grew up in jack Murphy stadium we were season ticket holders there
Facts!!!
For sure!! I was one of those kids growing up in SD. Great times. The Jack Murphy stadium😢. Now we have this Snap Dragon😅. Time will tell.
@@josemurillo6378. We would always watch the games on tv. In Spanish. But I did get to go to a game for a school trip, with a school In Chula Vista. Vista square.
Caminiti came into my families restaurant in Escondido California for breakfast once. I wasn't born at the time but they said he was a hulk of a man and very nice/humble. Wish I got to see him play in his prime. Let's hope the Pads get their bats heated up and get back to winning. LETS GO SD!
Yes he was all that and more... One of my all-time favorite Padre!
You mean... Let's F*CKING go San Diego!!
The other day I saw a dude on a corner wearing a Caminiti jersey. I screamed out my car "Nice jersey" or "I love your jersey" something like that. And then the Padres come out with this highlights video. What a coincidence! I loved going to games in late 90s as a kid. It was a great time.

Yes.... We enjoyed going to the 'Q' back in the day
One of my favorite Astros. I miss watching this guy. Thanks for the memories. RIP Ken Cam
One of my all times favorites growing up. RIP Cam
Being an Astro fan at the time , I was sick to my stomach when we traded him to SD in that 5 or 6 player trade ...however IMO he had his best years w/ SD. Underrated 3rd Baseman for sure !!! No one in the game today has his arm strength . RIP Ken.
Best Team....best era....best uniforms peroid

1998 arguably the best Padres season of all time. That team was stacked!
1984
Switch hitting, rocket arm, golden glove and all around stud! If he could've stayed healthy he would have been in the HOF.
He admitted to taking steroids so they wouldn't have let him in but I personally think the 90s were the best, let them take steroid ffs
@@LetsBeHonestImAPratAmen I don't have a problem with Steriods myself unlike Greenie That Babe Ruth was taking
Watching him take batting practice at the Astrodome was always fun
I loved Hoffman and Gwynn but Caminiti was, and still is, my guy. As troubled as he was he shown bright for the short time he was with us. And as trivial as it is, he will always have one of the greatest defensive plays in MLB history, throwing out the runner at first from his ass, and be remembered in the pantheon of amazing plays for that.
That play at 3:36 was the greatest single play at 3rd I've ever seen. And I love Nettles and the late great Brooksie!
yes awesome play!!!...he passed away in my hometown the Bronx ny...r.i.p Mr caminiti🙏
RIP CAM
Thank you, my All-Time favorite Padre highlights. What a great way to start my morning!
I miss him!! One of my favorite ball players EVER!! RIP
I forgot he was a switch hitter. Grew up watching Caminiti in San Diego. Beast mode everytime!!!
I miss you!!!
A great player, really miss him a lot, it was so cool go to the stadium and see him play I always remember when he went to the plate the background song was...... I want Cami🎶😄😍🎶 it was magical! Thanks for all and each one of your plays Ken Caminti💖⚾RIP⚾
Oohh and soo very handsome😍😘😍😘
Still the best defensive 3rd baseman I’ve ever seen, with the strongest, most accurate arm. He was hell of a hitter too.
This is incredible!!! Thank you for uploading this!!!💛🤎💛🤎💛
ken caminiti was awesome he also was built like a tank and he played with his heart and soul.... tragically he passed away in my hometown the bronx ny....r.i.p🙏
Things would have been different in 98' World Series had Cammy not been so beat up and injured. Always wished he was in 96' health during 98.
That plus Greg Vaughn would have been quite the punch!
3:36 Greatest throw from 3rd to 1st I’ve ever seen in my life…RIP Cammy
No doubt about it... The best 3rd baseman we have ever had #21 KC
Without Cammy, there is NO WAY we would've went to the WS in 1998.
What a talent. Saw a home run at the vet vs. the Phillies on there, but Ken’s ‘96 All star game home run at the vet is not in here. That was an upper deck shot to right.
I miss yelling, "MVP, MVP, MVP" the year Cam got MVP. Those were the days.
That arm.
I remember watching cam going to games when i lived in san Diego. This man was a beast him, tony gwynn, and trevor hoffman were the heart and soul of the padres about minute 4:16 when ken was almost on his back and threw a bullet to first i was at that game
I'm guessing you'll have Steve Finley, Benito Santiago, Khalil Greene and Adrián González highlights somewhere down the line, right?

What a beast
I know that Yankees team was loaded, but I would have loved to see a healthy Caminiti in that world series. I believe it would have been a difference.
RIP legend
Go Padres
I remember watching him with the Astros back then. You don't see switch hitters anymore.
I still love Cam.
⚾️ MVP 🤎💛🤍
3:38 "OH!"
RIP Cammi
Awe this was posted on his birthday
I’m still tight he beat out Mike Piazza for MVP but man he was a grizzly bear on that corner
My friends and I called him The Hulk. He looked like Lou Ferrigno to us.
In no way am I suggesting Machado juices, but we have not had a 3rd baseman with this power and defensive skills since Caminiti. Manny is an absolute beast, but I think they have been using more HR-friendly balls the last few years. There are fewer second-deckers so far this season with the new ball. I would pay money to hear Don Orsillo call some of Caminiti's plays.
Still the only padre to win mvp,hopefully tatis should get one soon,
3:33 impossible.
one thumbs down, must have not been around in the 90's, astros fan , sup padres
Buddy are you special
What was his cycle?
One to the left cheek, one to the right cheek, hit a bowl of C.C. Repeat.
Steroids made the game so much better and yeah I know people will hate me saying that but it was amazing to watch
Caminiti is one of the saddest stories in all of sports. What a waste.
Go Padres
