	Top Literature - Joe Charboneau
		Joseph Charboneau (born June 17, 1955 in Belvidere, Illinois) was a Major League Baseball player for the Cleveland Indians and is one of the most often-cited examples of baseball's fabled sophomore jinx.
		By mid-season, Charboneau was the subject of a song--"Go Joe Charboneau"--that reached #3 on the local charts.
		He finished the season with 87 runs batted in and a.289 batting average while winning the American League Rookie of the Year award--all in spite of being stabbed with a ball-point pen by a crazed fan as he waited for the team bus on March 8.

		"Super Joe" Charboneau made his debut with the Indians in 1980, splitting time between left field and designated hitter.
		Charboneau injured his back in a headfirst slide in spring training the following year, and he never hit higher than.214 in the major leagues again.
		He was sent to the minors halfway through the 1981 season after hitting only.210--becoming the first and only rookie of the year to find himself back in the minors the following season--and only appeared in 22 games in 1982.

		The definition of a one hit wonder, Joe Charboneau burst onto the baseball scene in 1980 with his big bat and even bigger reputation for the bizarre.
		Charboneau would only play 70 more games split over 2 years after his rookie season, retiring as the ultimate flash in the pan but not before becoming a wacky footnote in baseball and Cleveland Indians history.
		Charboneau won the award five times in 1980 and was the Press Star of the Year for baseball, with 27 1/2 points to Miguel Dilone's 14 1/2.

		Joe Charboneau played his only 3 years in the Majors for the Indians and became the city’s darling after going 3 for 3 in his first major league appearance.
		Joe had the tendency to dye his hair strange colors, open beer bottles with his eye socket, and drink beer with a straw through his nose.
		Joe worked a few odd jobs after leaving the majors but shortly after got a chance to work as a hitting coach in the Frontier league.

		In '80, Charboneau wasn't just the American League Rookie of the Year -- with 23 home runs, 87 RBI and a.289 average, even though he missed most of the final six weeks with a pelvis injury -- he was fawningly embraced by Cleveland much the way LeBron James is now being pulled to city's bosom.
		Charboneau, like James, was a young star with good looks, strapping physique and an easy smile.
		Charboneau wore even more hue in his hair, including the red, white and blue 'do for the Fourth of July.

		Joe Charboneau is the unfortunate poster child for flash-in-the-pan-itis.
		Injuries played a part in limiting Limpin' Joe to only 48 games with four home runs and 18 RBI in 1981, but it was a lot worse than that.
		Slumpin' Joe saw his average plunge 79 points to a much more Clevelandesque.210 (remember, these were the perennial loser Indians that inspired the movie Major League, not the current Jacob's Field funded juggernaught).

		And surely, "Super" Joe Charboneau -- the rookie of the year for 1980 -- would be there to lead the way.
		Charboneau was sent down to the minor leagues, wondering how things had gone so horribly wrong -- the living personification of the dreaded sophomore slump.
		But Joe Charboneau has dropped off the face of the earth, a fading memory on the back of a crumpled up baseball card like all the other used-to-be's, could-have-been's and never-were's.

		"Super Joe" Charboneau was a unique physical specimen, a guy who could blast a booming homer and then celebrate after the game by opening a beer bottle with his eye socket, then drinking the beer with a straw -- through his nose.
		In other words, Charboneau was a true flake, celebrated by Indians fans in song.
		He didn't stop there; by season's end, Charboneau, a fan favorite, hit 23 homers, drove in 87 runs, and hit.289 to win Rookie of the Year honors.

		Now 49, Charboneau endured a devastating back injury, a five-disc injury that ails him to this day, after a head-first slide during a Spring Training game back in 1981, prior to what would have been the start of his sophomore season.
		Charboneau was stabbed with a pen while standing near the team's bus.
		Charboneau is quick to point out that most stories, including his ability to open beer bottles with his eye socket, his days of bare-knuckle boxing in box cars, and his experimentation with dentistry all occurred during his high school, college or minor league careers.
