Jim Edmonds didn't play baseball last season, but hasn't retired and would like to play for the Cardinals. St. Louis manager Tony La Russa said Edmonds began texting him about a comeback the day before Sunday's Animal Rescue Foundation event in St. Louis. "I thought he was going to just say how much he enjoyed the show," La Russa said Monday. "He's serious. I said, 'If you're serious, we'll give you a serious discussion out of respect.' "Beyond that, I don't know."
