Film executive Sheldon Saltman is seen in a Sept. 1977 file photo in a hospital bed in Los Angeles, Calif. , after he alleged that Evel Knievel and an unidentified man attacked him on a studio lot with a baseball bat. Of all the bones Evel Knievel broke over the years, the costliest may have been the left arm of a PR man by the name of Shelly Saltman. Saltman won $12.75 million in damages against Knievel after the motorcycle daredevil attacked him with a baseball bat in 1977 in a rage over a book Saltman had written about the showman.
