Too Bad He Wasn't a Base Stealer

Former relief pitcher Jeff Reardon was arrested and charged with robbing a jewelry store in Palm Beach, Florida.
According to police, Reardon 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.
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.
What thief robs a store, flees the scene, then stops for a lunch at a local P.F. Chang's. I did not make that part up. He was really caught at P.F. Chang's China Bistro. Tradition Chinese cuisine in a contemporary American bistro setting.

Reardon has 367 saves.  Only Lee Smith, Trevor Hoffman, John Franco, Dennis Eckersley, Mariano Rivera and Jesus Christ have more.
I guess he needed the money to buy the Just For Men beard dye pitched by Clyde and Keith, cuz there's no play for Mr. Gray
I guess that Superman II money has all been spent

I remember watching the game where Reardon became the all time save leader rendering my Foldout Baseball Alamanac incorrect.
