Reardon's Struggles

Stan Grossfeld of the Boston Globe catches up with Jeff Reardon. The pitcher is still fighting depression over the death of his son.

There's Reardon and Shane riding in the Twins World Series parade in Minneapolis.

"He loved to go in the clubhouse, and Kirby Puckett and Bert Blyleven loved him," Reardon remembers. "Carl Pohlad, the owner of the Twins, used to have a table of candy -- it was like trick or treat every night. Bert used to pick up Shane and turn him upside-down and shake him and all the candy would come out. Shane had the look to him, that smile and all.

"All of this really meant so much to me, and now to me it doesn't really mean anything at all."
