This is NOT the kind of news BG intended to interrupt her holiday respite for, but:

Former Twins great arrested on robbery charges.

Jeff Reardon, one of the top relief pitchers in major league baseball history, was charged with a jewelry store robbery and held pending a bond hearing Tuesday.

The 50-year-old Reardon, who ranks sixth in career saves, 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.
