In "He Admitted His MVP Season Was a Lie. It Killed Him Anyway," we tell the story of Ken Caminiti, the 1996 National League MVP whose career became one of the most complicated stories in baseball. After becoming one of the game's biggest stars, Caminiti later admitted that he had used steroids during his MVP season, helping expose the steroid era that would reshape Major League Baseball forever.
But the story didn't end when his playing career did.
Years of substance abuse and declining health followed, and Caminiti died at just 41 years old. His story became a warning about the price of performance-enhancing drugs and the damage they could leave behind long after the statistics were recorded.

My only question is...HOW DID SNICKERS NOT CAPALIZE OFF OF THAT??
That could have been one amazing commercial and marketing
Thank you for covering a great man.
