Jimmy Baseball Retires

I found out this afternoon that my favorite centerfielder is retiring due to a nagging injury he has with his foot. “As much as I regret this announcement, I feel that it is for the best,” Edmonds said in the statement.

Edmonds finished as a career .284 hitter with 393 home runs and 1,199 runs batted in. He won Gold Gloves for his defense eight times in nine seasons from 1997 through 2005.


Edmonds spent eight seasons with St. Louis from 2000 to 2007, winning a World Series in 2006. He ranks fourth on the team’s all-time home run list, with 241.

Jimmy will be missed,just think he only needed seven more homeruns for 400.
