No Diamonds for Diamond Star

Former Mets pitcher Jeff Reardon, who also played for Montreal, Minnesota, Boston, Atlanta and Cincinnati and earned more than $11 million during his career, was arrested yesterday for holding up a jewelry store, purportedly at gunpoint, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. He made off with $170 before being caught by cops in the parking lot only minutes later. The ballplayer blamed the low-and-outside heist – apparently without irony – on anti-depressants he started taking after one of his sons, 20-year-old Shane, died of a drug overdose last year.
