Super Joe, TV star?

Whether you knew Joe Charboneau as the 1980 American League Rookie of the Year, a one-year wonder, the Wild Things' hitting coach in 2002 and '03 or just one of the most unique people in baseball, then you probably won't be surprised that Super Joe is headed to television.

However, what might surprise you is what station Charboneau will be found on this summer, and what he's doing to be on the tube.

Charboneau is one of the stars of "Catastrophe Inc.," a show that will begin airing in July on HGTV (Home & Garden Television).

According to the Catastrophe Inc.'s Facebook page, the show is described as "When disaster strikes, it's the first responders who save the day -- but the unsung heroes of every catastrophe are the guys who clean it up. In each episode of Catastrophe, Inc., a crew of disaster specialists rescue homes damaged by every type of devastation, including wildfires, hurricane-force winds, floods and fallen trees. From simple debris removal to full demolition, the team is there every step of the way to help families clean up, rebuild and redecorate their homes."

According to Lake Erie Crushers manager Jeff Isom, Charboneau is the "guy who climbs in the crawlspace under a house after a flood and pulls out dead fish."

In other words, Charboneau is on the show to do the dirty work.

If ever there was a person whose life should be made into a movie, or a reality show, it's Charboneau. I don't know how well it will translate into a home recovery program.
