James Patrick "Jim" Edmonds (born June 27, 1970) is an American former center fielder in Major League Baseball and a current broadcaster for Fox Sports Midwest. He played for the California/Anaheim Angels, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, and Cincinnati Reds. Known for his defensive abilities – particularly his catches – Edmonds also was a prolific hitter, batting .284 with 393 home runs and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of .903. He is affectionately known by Cardinal fans as "Jimmy Baseball",〔Miklasz, Bernie. - ('Jimmy Baseball' delivers in clutch ). - ''Saint Louis Post-Dispatch''. - August 11, 2006. - Retrieved: 2006-11-12〕 "Jimmy Ballgame", and "Hollywood". ==Early and personal life== Edmonds was born on June 27, 1970 in Fullerton, California. He attended Diamond Bar High School in Diamond Bar, in eastern Los Angeles County. Edmonds has two daughters, Lauren and Hayley, with his first wife Lee Ann Horton. Edmonds and second wife Allison Jayne Raski were married on July 16, 2008, at the St. Louis County, Missouri Courthouse in Clayton, MO and the couple divorced in January 2014. The couple have two children: a son (Landon James) and a daughter (Sutton Jayne). Edmonds married Meghan O'Toole King (his third marriage) in St. Louis on October 24, 2014. His wife, Meghan, joined the cast of Real Housewives of Orange County in 2015. Edmonds himself also appears on the show. In September 2013, Jim Edmonds 15 Steakhouse closed in St. Louis, of which he was a 50 percent owner and it was named for his jersey number.〔Halverson, Matthew (15 Things Your Should Know About Jim Edmonds' New Restaurant ) stlmag.com, October 2007 (accessed August 9, 2010)〕 In December 2013, Edmonds and his business partner Mark Winfield, reopened the F15teen space as a restaurant called The Precinct. () The restaurant was dubbed "the safest bar in town” and also the “home of the hottest wings.” The former claim, like the name of the restaurant itself, was a bid to become the hangout of choice of city cops once they moved into their new headquarters just around the corner. Police-themed memorabilia shared space on the walls with framed Cardinals jerseys and flat-screen TVs. In May 2015, The Precinct closed. () Edmonds and Windfield continue to partner in the restaurant business with the opening of Winfield's Gathering Place in Kirkwood, MO as a BBQ style restaurant. It does not promote Edmonds’ celebrity brand. In fact, no Edmonds, Cardinals or other sports memorabilia clutter the interior, though, of course, it has more than a few TVs in both the dining room and the bar area for watching games.
