Thinking back on those incredibly talented early 00’s Cardinal teams, just a few players come to mind that have stood the test of time in my rapidly aging mind.
This is the day when the National Baseball Hall of Fame will be announcing the results of this year’s ballots. It’s another reminder of how St. Louis Cardinals legend Jim Edmonds should have been given more consideration than he received.
The 1990s were a complicated era in MLB, marred by PEDs and a player's strike in the first half of the decade, but also remembered with great players, broken records, and the long ball.
Jim Edmonds will no longer serve as a TV analyst for St. Louis Cardinals games this upcoming season, and it sounds like some personal issues between him and the franchise played a role in the former slugger’s exit.
The 2026 season has been headlined by young players emerging, but some wily veterans have also had their day. As we head toward the end of the regular season, these 30 players stand out as the biggest surprises on their teams.
The main redeeming thing about former big league outfielder Jim Edmonds is that, for one half of a season, he was an outstanding player on the Chicago Cubs.
The St. Louis Cardinals trail only the New York Yankees for most World Series titles but they've lost their winning ways and must find a way to return to being a perennial contender.
While Edmonds may be walking away from his broadcasting position, he certainly has plenty of thoughts on what has been and is going on with the Cardinals.
This article was prompted by a reader comment. In the comments regarding Max Scherzer in BCB After Dark, discussion turned to players who had good or great careers and who eventually wound up with the Cubs late in their careers.
