Edmonds feels pull of his family – STLtoday.com

For some reason or another, I have not always been a huge Edmonds fan.? Maybe it is those times when the game was on the line and he swung on ball four? There were probably more times when he made amazing, game-winning plays, but I would always go back to those that weren’t game winners.? Isn’t it funny how we always seem to gravitate to the negative in all situations?

Came across this article the other day about the fact that Edmonds may not even take a contract with the Milwaukee Brewers if it is offered to him because he wants to be around his family.? He didn’t play last summer and was around his family the entire time, which hasn’t happened ever in his lifetime.

“You just get comfortable in a certain life and it’s like just how you get comfortable playing baseball for so long,” Edmonds said. “You think that’s all you have and then you get home and realize there’s more to life. The family, having kids and how much they actually enjoy you being home.

“I got to take the kids to school and be there for my daughter’s 16th birthday. It’s just a different thing.

“Now I wake up some mornings and doubt myself for making this decision.”

Alright, maybe I am beginning to be a huge Edmonds fan.

What do you think?? Why do we often take for granted the great things in our lives?
