Details of Jim Edmonds’ St. Louis Home
A Grand Slam Property
The 2006 World Series champion purchased this massive 17,200-square-foot residence in 2020, about a decade after hanging up his spikes professionally. Situated on nearly three acres, this contemporary mansion features seven bedrooms and eleven (!!) bathrooms. Throughout the residence, soaring coffered and barrel-shaped ceilings are present, while towering windows flood the interior with natural light.
Major League Amenities
What truly sets this property apart is its incredible lower-level entertainment zone that includes a full bowling alley, batting cages, video gaming areas, a theater section, and even a dedicated snack bar. Outside, a luxury pool area also has tanning chairs and a cozy fire pit, while golf enthusiasts will appreciate the private putting green. Other impressive features include a glass-fronted wine cellar, dual office spaces, and an eight-car garage for a collection of luxury vehicles. Because everything else wasn’t enough, right?
Jim Edmonds’ Baseball Legacy
Gold Glove Defense
During Edmonds’ 17-season MLB career that began in 1993 with the California Angels, he established himself as one of the game’s premier defensive outfielders. His eight Gold Gloves speak to his defensive brilliance, placing him in elite company among the greatest defensive outfielders in baseball history.
What made Edmonds truly special was his flair for the dramatic in the field. His diving, full-extension catches became his signature, with fans expecting to see plays like that whenever a ball was hit in his direction. His willingness to sacrifice his body for spectacular plays made him a highlight-reel regular on the Web Gem portion of ESPN’s Baseball Tonight show.
St. Louis Cardinals Legend
While Edmonds began his career with the Angels, he truly cemented his legacy during eight seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals (2000-2007). He immediately endeared himself to fans in his first season with the club, hitting .295 with 42 home runs and 108 RBI. So, he wasn’t just a defensive wizard — he knew how to swing the lumber as well.
His contributions proved vital to the Cardinals’ success during that era, including their 2006 title run. Cardinals fans still reminisce about his clutch game-winning home run in the 2004 NLCS against the Houston Astros—a moment that stands among the most celebrated in franchise history.
Power and Precision
What many casual fans might not realize is that Edmonds wasn’t just about spectacular defense. He finished his career with 393 home runs and a more-than-respectable .284/.376/.527 triple slash. His combination of power and defensive excellence puts him in rare company—only a handful of center fielders in baseball history can claim similar accomplishments.
Edmonds’ approach at the plate was distinctive, with a high front leg kick and a smooth left-handed swing that generated tremendous power. During his peak years, he was one of the most feared hitters in the National League, regularly producing seasons of 30-plus homers while maintaining a high on-base percentage.
While it’d be fair to debate whether his career was Hall of Fame worthy or not, I still also think it’s an injustice that he only spent one year on the ballot. He garnered just 2.5% of votes, falling short of the 5.0% minimum to remain eligible.
Broadcasting Career
Since retiring, Edmonds has maintained his connection to baseball through broadcasting. He joined the Cardinals’ broadcast team in 2013, sharing insights gained from his playing career with viewers.
Now, with his current broadcasting career keeping him connected to the Cardinals organization, Edmonds has maintained strong ties to the St. Louis community. However, it appears as though he’s moving for business opportunities outside of the Midwest.
For the right buyer with nearly $9 million to spend, this isn’t just a house—it’s a chance to live in a space designed for a baseball great who thrilled fans with his elite skills for nearly two decades.
