FILE - In this March 5, 1982, file photo, Cleveland Indians left fielder Joe Charboneau gets jammed in the batting cage at Cleveland's spring training camp in Tucson, Ariz. The charismatic Charboneau arrived on the scene as that promising prospect who was the life of the party. His tales were epic off the field — opened beer bottles with his forearm or his eye socket (just once or twice, he cautioned). Once fixed a broken nose with pliers. Stitched up a cut with fishing line. Charboneau sees a little bit of himself in the iconic baseball film “The Natural,” that finished tied for No. 8 in The Associated Press Top 25 favorite sports movies poll. (AP Photo/Sal Veder, Fle)
