The Doubleday Baseball League congratulates Ken Caminiti of the San Diego Padres, who on April 10, 1996, drove in the 1,000th run of his career, becoming one of the league’s elite run producers.
Since debuting with the Houston Astros in 1987, Caminiti has been a steady source of power and run production across three franchises, including standout seasons with the Orlando Devil Rays in the early 1990s. His bat has long been a difference-maker, highlighted by his 1991 campaign in which he hit .354 with 45 home runs and 152 RBIs, earning recognition as one of the most feared hitters in the Federal League.
Now in his first season with San Diego, the 33-year-old slugger reached the 1,000 RBI milestone, further cementing his reputation as one of the game’s most consistent and dangerous middle-of-the-order hitters.
Career Highlights to Date:
- 1,352 games played
- 1,421 career hits
- 318 home runs
- 1,001 RBIs
- Career slash line: .279/.355/.518 (.873 OPS)
Caminiti’s achievement underscores not only his longevity but also his ability to rise to the moment and deliver for his teams year after year. The DBL proudly recognizes this remarkable milestone in a distinguished career.
Congratulations to Ken Caminiti on reaching 1,000 career RBIs.
