What's up with Jeff Reardon
I don't remember Jeff Reardon getting in any trouble during his playing career so this news item caught me by surprise.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) -- Former major league pitcher Jeff Reardon was charged with a jewelry store robbery and held pending a bond hearing Tuesday. The 50-year-old Reardon walked into Hamilton Jewelers at the Gardens Mall on Monday and handed an employee a note saying he had a gun and the store was being robbed. Reardon fled the store with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police found him at a nearby restaurant, recovered the stolen money and charged him with armed robbery.I have a feeling that this is not going to help him get into the Hall of Fame. Drugs are not mentioned in the article but are the most likely thing to drive a guy to screw up like that.
The four-time All-Star was 73-77 with 367 saves and a 3.16 ERA in 16 seasons.
UPDATE:
Turns out the Hall of Fame has already passed up on Reardon. In the 2000 election he received 24 votes which wasn't enough to remain on the ballot.
