Which brand of Tennessee whiskey distilled in a dry county was allegedly used by "Super Joe" Charboneau as an anesthetic when he fixed a broken nose with a pair of pliers?
1980 Cleveland Indians season "Super Joe" Charboneau made his debut with the Indians in 1980, splitting time between left field and designated hitter. His 23 home runs led the team and he captured the city's imagination with his hard hitting and his eccentricities. His tendency to dye his hair unnatural colors, open beer bottles with his eye socket, and drink beer with a straw through his nose, and other stories that emerged about how he did his own dental work and fixed a broken nose with a pair of pliers and a few shots of Jack Daniel's whiskey, stood out in 1980. By mid-season, Charboneau was the subject of a song--"Go Joe Charboneau"—that reached #3 on the local charts.
Prairie Fire (mixed drink) A Prairie Fire is a mixed drink consisting of strong liquor and hot sauce. Many variations of a Prairie Fire in "shot" form exist. The origins of the shot are unknown but the earliest known styling of the drink is believed to have originated from the American Mid-West in the early 1970s when bar patrons were forced to drink hot sauce with shots of whiskey as punishment for losing bar bets. Since then, many types of alcohol have been substituted for whiskey, with tequila being the most popular.
