How about that Jim Edmonds? Jimmy Ballgame. Jimmy Baseball. The Man, the Myth, the rival swapping Legend that is Jim Patrick Edmonds. Just a mere nine months ago he was a villain, walking through the halls of the nemesis kingdom that is St. Louis. I find it hard to believe that we've adopted him as our own, but I'm at peace with it, and you should be too.
He had his best years down the road in the shadows of the Gateway arch, we all know. He had a war of words with Carlos Zambrano, owned Mark Prior, and his fly balls flew out of Wrigley with regularity as a Cardinal. We all know his past. It's time to forget it. Don't hate, appreciate.
As a Cub, Jim Edmonds is batting .300 with 5 homers, 19 driven in, slugging .588 (highest since 2004), and has eight more hits as a Cub that he did as a Padre, in ten fewer atbats. He's producing.
