James Patrick "Jim" Edmonds (born June 27, 1970 in Fullerton, California) is a left-handed center fielder who is currently a free agent. Edmonds has also played for the California/Anaheim Angels, the St. Louis Cardinals, the San Diego Padres, and the Chicago Cubs. He was affectionately known by Cardinal fans as Jimmy Baseball, Jimmy Ballgame.

Early in his Major League career the California Angels selected Edmonds in the seventh round of the 1988 draft. Edmonds was traded from Anaheim to St. Louis for second baseman Adam Kennedy and pitcher Kent Bottenfield shortly before the beginning of the 2000 season. His fielding ability has earned him recognition from Major League coaches and managers, who voted him a Rawlings Gold Glove winner eight times in nine seasons from 1997 to 2005.

Throughout his career, Edmonds has played first base in stretches, usually as a result of injury to a starting first basemen, but sometimes simply to provide rest to regular position players, or give another outfielder playing time. With Albert Pujols suffering an oblique injury in June of the 2006 season, Edmonds made six starts at first.
