PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Former major league pitcher Jeff Reardon was arrested Monday on charges he robbed a jewelry store.
The 50-year-old Reardon, sixth in saves in major league history, walked into Hamilton Jewelers at the Gardens Mall about 11:50 a.m. Monday and handed an employee a note that said he had a gun and the store was being robbed, according to the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department.
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.
Reardon was in the Palm Beach County jail early Tuesday awaiting a bond hearing.
The four-time All-Star was 73-77 with 367 saves and a 3.16 ERA in 16 seasons with the Montreal Expos, Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds, New York Yankees, New York Mets, Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins.

Guess he doesn't close as well at the jewelry store.
Maybe he should try his luck at JCPenney, where he could become a "clothes-er."
