I didnt want this video to end.
Jim Edmonds- the walking highlight reel! Great father and great son. Always the most fun hanging around Legends with us civilians. Never pretentious- always cool as heck. Great times and could laugh at himself. Rare superstar off field qualities. Jimmy E.i
The 1st catch is the greatest catch by an outfielder ever.
Jimmy was the man. I was 10 when the Cards traded for him. He was basically the turning point from the horrible late 90s teams into the awesome 00s.
I'll never understand why this man, who made 3 Willie Mays catches a game, doesn't get more shine.
Great defensive center fielder, fun to watch and he is one of my favorite players. I still remember that classic homerun in game 6 of the 04 nlcs vs Houston
Yeah I was 9 years old and remember watching that on TV like it was yesterday.
Edmonds was clearly the best defensive outfielder of his generation....
Agree. Best I've ever seen. Watching baseball since 1976. Let's put it this way, I like him more than any other, defensively.
It's between him and Andruw Jones.
Over an 11 year span andruw jones AVERAGED 22 defensive runs saved a season. Edmonds career high in a season was 13 and that was the only season he was above 10. Big gap between the two. I would probably put Cameron, Hunter, griffey, and Edmonds in the same category. All were very solid.
Um you're forgetting Ken Griffey jr. Sir 🤔
@@westlymiller
Jr Griffey was always on the disabled list
2:18
I was at that game. We had seats in centerfield. I got a close up look at that one.
Edmonds will always be one of my favorite Cardinals of all time. The dude did it all.
90s and 2000s had the greatest defensive outfielders...griffey, Andruw Jones, torri hunter, ichiro and Edmonds. Once in life time defenders
You could add Mike Cameron to that list too
Grew up in SoCal and Jim and Bonds were my favourite players. When Edmonds left the Angels for St.Lous I became a Cardinals fan. He was incredible to watch.
loved those cardinal teams!
JIM "FULL EXTENSION" EDMONDS
1:48 I remember screaming NO WAY at the TV!!!!
no grandstanding.....hot -doging ....or chest-pounding..... the players today can learn a lot from this legend
He wasn't always at his offensive best but his defense is uncomparable I like Griffy badass in his time one of the best all-around players in his time in terms of defense he didn't hold a candle until Jimmy Edmonds
Those old angel unis are so nice.
I met him at a bar in Nashville earlier this year. I grew up a big Cardinals fan and couldn’t believe it was him. I tapped him on the shoulder and asked if he was Jim Edmonds. I didn’t want to bother him, but he was super nice. Asked if I wanted to take a picture together, one of the coolest days of my life.
One of the best centerfielders of all time
The best ever
Surely best CF I've ever seen.
Cause he is one of the best CF ever....
The catch vs KC, I saw it live on TV as it happened.
I remember like it was last week.
Jim Edmonds was my idol as a kid who played centerfield on his little league team in the early 2000s.
That’s awesome! Cheers to baseball!
That last one is nuts.
Imagine trading Kent Bottenfield and Adam Kennedy and getting this guy.
Nightmares still 😆
At the time he wasn't a great hitter but made himself great in st Louis 👍 👏
Left off his best play he ever made, in game 7 of the 2004 NLCS
AWESOME!!!!
Great video. Keep em coming
I've played the position and watched alot of centerfiielders he is definitely top 5 ever.
That catch might be the best catch I had ever seen.
I could listen to mike shannon make these calls all day
You left out his catch of Ausmus' drive to the gap in the '04 playoffs. Possibly series-saving catch.
He's truly one of my favorite players. I loved to watch him play. He's my favorite centerfielder tied with Kenny Lofton and Ken Griffey Jr. That's kind of hard to say as and Indians fan.
I was at that game with my 2 boys and I told them at the time that it was the greatest catch of all time!! David Howard definitely got robbed!!
How this dude was on the hall of fame ballot for one fucking year is beyond me, his defense alone was hall of fame worthy... throw in 400+ homeruns and its just like wtf did those guys miss? Oh, that time Jim missed is what they caught, I'm still watching these catches just like how? 10 years later
Iykyk about Jim Edmonds
Jim Edmonds Diving Catch against the KC Royals and Jim Edmonds robbing a Home Run against the Cincy Reds were my favorite defensive plays from Jim Edmonds!
He's a legend!
Jim Edmonds made baseball fun again.
Edmonds had closing speed out the ying yang when he was young.
All time no.1 in Diving catch
Grande Jim, grande...
Edmunds was incredible...
He had crazy wheels, outstanding glove and an great arm. He was also one of the few guys that understood how to use the wall as a springboard to reach balls you couldn't get by jumping. Ichiro, Griffey, Trout, Pillar, JBJ, etc learned from Jimmy Ed...
Dude was a nightmare to play against in mlb 2k6
He would’ve been a great nfl receiver with those kinda catches.
That's one bad mo fo
Best defensive center fielder ever hands down you can deny it but it will make little difference Jimmy Edmonds was a thriller
Tim Salmon the other left fielders that played with him must have been bored. Cause they barely got any work in with Jimmy roaming Center.
It always amazes me how the centerfielder is almost always the fastest player on the team yet in jim Edmonds case he had the speed of the average first baseman and yet he was still able to track down any ball hit into the outfield
Instincts and experience. Jimmy was one of a kind
Best center all time
I legit youtube searched so much for his Tal's hill catch but I thought it was with the cardinals oops. Well glad I found it lol.
Edmonds was a big piece defensively and offensively in the Cardinals success in the first decade of the 2000's.
Missed the ‘06 nlcs game 7 catch.
I think you mean '04 but yea it was a great catch.
nice
this guy's a textbook of chasing over-the-shoulder flyballs.
Saw Willie make the Vic Wertz over the head catch. Jims was better. Never thought I'd say that. Watched Edmonds his entire career. No one did it better or more consistently than Jim. Right up there with my favorite defensive players, all time.
Not best outfielder but certainly one of the smartest outfielders ever. The way he could catch the ball pass his head is unique wow
Fue el mejor sii
The OG Human highlight reel
Jim "Over the shoulder" Edmonds
Should definitely have more cubs highlights.
The last great white centerfielder
ZEEEEEE BEST ALL TIME . YES ALLLLLLL TIME . DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY HE DID THIS .😮😅
Some how that willie mays catch is seen as one the best of all time in some circles but Edmonds has several that easily top Mays catch.
Edmonds was my favorite outfielder to watch.
Context, Mays catch was during the WS, but Jimmy's catch in game 7 of the 04 NLDS is up there
What baseball fallout Vault are, you from?
Was this guy ever in the right position?
Psycho Jim. The Warrior...
the only sunshine on the California Anaheims of Anaheim
Not quite. There was Garrett Anderson, who didn't know how to not hit the ball hard and on a line. But, you're close.
I know Willie Mays just died today, but... Willie Who?
It boggles my mind that the writers iced him on the HOF ballot like they did. He is borderline HOF-level at worst, and an obvious HOF'er at best.
Why did Jim Edmonds go to St. Louis?
The Cardinals got Edmonds in a trade with the Angels before the 2000 season.
@@matthewworthington6573 The Cardinals had a habit of taking all the Angel's players back in the day. Edmonds, Eckstein, Glaus. Good times.
Just call him Bandit cause he robbed everyone😊😊😊
Better than Willie Mays catch for sure.
LaRock Willie’s came in a World Series, higher stakes.
It was, but only because he didn't have the foot speed Willie had. Otherwise, he'd have caught the ball with a lot more ease. But he's still one of my all time favorite defensive players. The catch he made over the fence, well, two actually, had nothing to do with foot speed and everything to do with good hands.
I stopped watching after about 20 seconds because of that stange sound.
The background music ruins the video. It is unwatchable.
If he'd ever bothered to played a few steps deeper, these would all be routine plays.
Especially the ones over the fence.
Ummm... the hall mark of a good centerfielder is one who can play shallow but defend the deep ball. Andrew Jones basically played the same way and was probably a better defender than Edmonds over that span, with both easily being the best of the decade in the 2000s. To suggest anything else is idiotic.
What a boneheaded thing to say

It’s not easy trying to read Batters when you’re in the Outfield. Sometimes you have to protect yourself from certain things like A Dying Quail that could fall in front of you.
Obviously this clown has never played Outfield in a Baseball Game before to make such an asinine comment.
