The late Ken Caminiti split the majority of his baseball career between the Houston Astros and San Diego Padres, but any Houston fan will tell you that they appreciate the slugger's contributions to the franchise.
Eight of his 14 seasons were spent with the Astros, where he helped bring the team into its 1990s heyday before leaving for sunny San Diego in 1994 only to return to the team for two more seasons in 1999.
Caminiti tragically died of a drug overdose in 2004 and admittedly used steroids during his most productive years, including his '96 MVP year, but his legacy in Houston shouldn't be tarnished. While his actions off the field may have been questionable, Caminiti was a fine player for the Astros and productive even before his steroid usage.
