A Seventh Round Pick in 1988, Jim Edmonds ascended to the Majors five years later, but it was not until 1995, where he showed what he could do at baseball's highest level. Playing most of his career at Centerfield, Edmonds '95 campaign was his first All-Star year, blasting 33 Home Runs with 107 RBIs while batting .290.
Edmonds continued to have good power numbers for the Angels, smacking at least 20 Home Runs with a .290 Batting Average over the next three seasons, and his defensive skills earned him Gold Gloves in 1997 and 1998. Edmonds only played 55 Games in 1999 due to injury, and the Angels traded him to St. Louis, where he had the best run of his career. He would later win a World Series Ring with the Cards in 2006.
With the Angels, Edmonds had 121 Home Runs, 768 Hits with a .290/.359/.498 Slash Line.
