I thought I had more photos, I will have to take some. Tim Flannery, as well as being the Padres 3rd base coach, at the time, is also a fantastic musician. He went on to the Giants and got his World Series Ring two years ago. Every year, I organized an afternoon of Irish Music and dance, with the Thornton Irish Dance Academy and Tim's band. We sent 1,000 kids a year to the baseball games. Ken Caminiti was an all-star who had a self worth image that eventually killed him, in fact, both the people in the middle are dead. My girlfriend Cheri Kinney of Walking Pneumonia, and Caminiti of an overdose. I am the girl on the right, with the **** eating grin, because I LOVED KEN CAMINITI...HE WAS MY HEARTTHROB!!! My imaginary boyfriend. Tim knew how I felt, so he brought him over to get his photo with us, and then got it signed. I was so sad when Caminiti died. As Flannery said,..."If only he could have seen himself as we all saw him, as a wonderful kind human being", but Cami had demons of self worth that eventually killed him. So this was my "Baseball period" of life!! Michelle
I am very sorry for the loss of your friend. miKKo
