In this April 26, 2007, photo, St. Louis Cardinals' Jim Edmonds bats during a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds in St. Louis. Edmonds went on stage at Cardinals manager Tony La Russa's charity event to ask for a tryout. The 39-year-old outfielder did not play last season but never retired. La Russa said Edmonds began texting him about a comeback the day before Sunday's Animal Rescue Foundation event in St. Louis, and at first the manager thought it was a joke. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson)
