Former Major League Pitcher Jeff Reardon Arrested on Robbery Charges in Florida

The Associated Press

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - 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, according to Palm Beach Gardens police.

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.

The four-time All-Star was 73-77 with 367 saves and a 3.16 ERA in 16 seasons with the New York Mets, Montreal Expos, Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds and New York Yankees.

I have no clue of his salaries he earned during his career, but he was near the top of his profession for a while there, and you figure he made very good money over the 16 seasons. He pitched through the 1980s, so it is reasonable to assume he averaged at least a million per season. So where is the 15-20 million + that he earned in the 16 seasons?

Not enough to buy his wife/girl friend/mistress a present?
