Autographs of Joe Charboneau
Joseph Charboneau (born June 17, 1955) is an American former professional baseball left fielder and designated hitter who played three seasons with the Cleveland Indians of Major League Baseball (MLB) in the early 1980s.
After winning the AL Rookie of the Year award in 1980, Charboneau's career quickly flamed out amidst injuries, specifically a back ailment that never properly healed and restricted him for the next three years. He is one of the most oft-cited examples of baseball's fabled sophomore jinx, holding the record for the fewest career games played in the Major Leagues by a Rookie of the Year, with 201. That record has now been broken by Kyle Lewis, who won the Rookie of the Year award in 2020, but finished his Major League career appearing in only 146 games.
Charboneau was born fifth of seven children. When he was young, his family relocated to Santa Clara, California and his father left the family shortly thereafter. He was raised in poverty by his single mother who worked as a hospital receptionist. In order to make money, Charboneau would fight in illegal bare-knuckle boxing matches in boxcars and warehouses. He broke his nose and was stabbed three times apiece.
