Playing Through the Pain - Ken Caminiti and the Steroids Confession That Changed Baseball Forever

THE STORY AT THE HEART OF 1990s BASEBALL: This is the first biography of Ken Caminiti. You can''t tell the story of the 1990s without talking about Caminiti, but his story has been largely forgotten. Millennial baseball fans recall his on-the-field triumphs fondly and will run to this book. BASED ON MORE THAN 400 INTERVIEWS: The author has interviewed more than 400 people from every stage of Caminiti''s life to put together a kaleidoscopic portrait of an incredibly positive and tragic life. TOTALLY JUICED: In 2002, a year after his retirement, Caminiti admitted that he had used steroids during his 1996 MVP season in a cover story for Sports Illustrated. He was the first player to discuss this publicly, and it created a media firestorm. Twenty years after that article, Abrams will publish this book to capitalize on the conversation.
