Yankee Pitcher's Mom Headed to Pen for Slinging Drugs

Joba Chamberlain's mom was arrested on drug charges

The mother of Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain faces up to two decades behind bars in Nebraska on a drug-dealing charge.

Jackie Standley pleaded no contest to controlled substance delivery on Monday in Lincoln, Neb. She will be sentenced Dec. 16, with a recommendation that she seek help from a drug and alcohol treatment center.

Lincoln cops said Standley, 44, was arrested following a methamphetamine sale to an uncover police officer at her apartment in May.

Chamberlain said in New York two days after her arrest that he hadn’t spoken to his mother in a while.

“You’ve only got one mom, man, and you’ve got to be thankful for her,” he said.
