When Former Braves Go Bad

I guess the MLB pension just doesn't cut it. Or maybe it does and the local bungee jumping place was closed (pun intended). Reardon had to get out and find his kicks some place else, medication be damned. Might not have been armed robbery had he tried to hold the place up with fastballs. Then again at his age, I can see why he used a gun.

Reardon charged with armed robbery
From the AP:
"PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Jeff Reardon, one of the top relief pitchers in baseball history, apologized to officers and blamed medication he is taking for depression when he was arrested for a jewelry store robbery, police said Tuesday."

It is not the medication that he can easily blame on, but it is his poor decision making. He has that free will to do it or not.
