SAN DIEGO -- The Padres posthumously inducted Ken Caminiti into the team's Hall of Fame Saturday afternoon, making the slugging third baseman the 13th player inducted into the group.
Caminiti joins Ted Williams as a 2016 inductee, and while he only played four seasons in San Diego (1995-1998), they were arguably the four best seasons of his career. He won Gold Glove Awards three straight years, starting in 1995. He was an All-Star in 1994, while with the Astros, and in 1996 and 1997. Caminiti became the first Padre to win the National League MVP award when he was unanimously recognized in 1996, when he also won his sole Silver Slugger award.
