Uecker, 72, alleges Ladd began accosting him for autographs six years ago and even stayed in the same hotels he did for away games. Uecker cited an incident in Pittsburgh last month in which she approached him at a hotel swimming pool.

The court order directs Ladd to stay at least 500 feet from Uecker and to stop contacting him.
