Jim Edmonds played eight seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, which without question was the true meat of his career.

Edmonds was a highly skilled Outfielder who would win six Gold Gloves but he was also a feared power hitter who also knew how to get on base often.  A three time All Star, Edmonds had four seasons of 30 or more Home Runs powering 241 dingers as a Cardinal.  Edmonds could draw Walks as shown by his .393 OBP in St. Louis and he was a large part of the Redbirds 2006 World Series win.  Individually speaking, along with his trophy case full of Gold Gloves, he would win a Silver Slugger in 2004 and he was twice in the top five in MVP voting.

Edmonds was inducted into the Cardinals Hall of Fame in 2014 as part of their first Hall of Class when the fans selected him.
