Who is Tommy Edman?

I like to watch an exciting baseball game. Recently I watched the Chicago White Sox play the St Louis Cardinals in Chicago. It was a surprise for me to learn that Tony La Russa, former Cardinal manager, now manages the White Sox.

Even though the White Sox lost, Tommy gave them a run for their money. Two home runs was enough to win a game. And who is Tommy Edman?

Tommy is an infielder/outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals. I don't think there is anything he can't do.

Speed is his middle name. He is fast on the bases and if he taps a slow roller between third base and the pitchers mound, he beats it out easily to first base. Stealing bases is a challenge for any catcher and catching fly balls in the outfield looks easy for number 19.

At bat he's a switch hitter. Depending on whose pitching, right or left hander, he stands comfortably on either side of home plate. 

Who is Tommy Edman? I think one of the best all-around-players the St Louis Cardinals are lucky to have in their roster.
