    Jeff Reardon was arrested for Robbery
    he might have got away with it, if he had a setup man

    Former Major League Baseball pitcher Jeff Reardon was arrested in Florida in connection with a jewelry store robbery, police said on Tuesday.


    A four-time all-star who earned more than $2 million a season at the height of his 16-year career, Reardon walked into a jewelry store on Monday and "handed an employee a note stating that they were being robbed and that he had a gun," Palm Beach Gardens Police said in a news release.

    Reardon was arrested at a nearby restaurant and the stolen money was recovered, police said.

    Reardon had 367 saves as one of the dominant relief pitchers of his era, according to Baseball Almanac. He logged 73 wins and 77 losses with an earned-run average of 3.16 in a career that began in 1979 with the New York Mets.

    He also played for the Montreal Expos, Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Atlanta Braves, Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees before retiring in 1994.

    Reardon, who was being held at the Palm Beach County jail, played in three World Series and earned more than $2.5 million per season from the Boston Red Sox in 1991 and 1992, Baseball Almanac said.

    he is probably a drug addict to blow that much money

    or maybe a terrible gambler or investor

              Jeff Reardon is claiming it had something to do with his depression medication.

              i don't know his financial at all, but you would have to assume it wasn't. because, the guy made 2 million a season at one point. plus, he does get a MLB pension as well.
