MIAMI (Reuters) - 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.

I can hear black racists galore crowing( PUN INTENDED! )
away,screeching like the banshees they are: "See White athletes break
da law,all the time,too!HAHAHAHA!!!!"



Yes,a White pitcher,who :



retired over 10 years ago,and so,is around 50 now,



breaks the law,for the first time in his life,only because he
hasn't been taking his medication(Prescribed to him by a professional
doctor),



is the same as a ghetto thug "athlete" who:



gets caught with crack/cocaine/pot/ecstacy,etc,etc, in his car(Claiming that it's not his,of course....),



gets in involved in fights/shootouts ,and drug taking, and other assorted uncivilized sleazy behavior ,at strip clubs,



accused of rape by several women,and fathers half-a-dozen illegitimate "kids" , all before the age of 25.



Only the fevered, childish minds of blacks....
