“It saddens me tremendously that my wife is hurt,” he said. “After having a few days to digest the situation, I realize that something that occurred in a split second spiraled out of control with no way to stop it. We were both separately surprised to find out that the media had received details of our private situation without our knowledge.”

“We both carry an extremely large load and most of our issues could have been worked out if we had more more time for us,” he said. “With our busy careers and the addition of our son’s medical needs, we were lacking quality time together.” (Their son, Hart, has been diagnosed with a form of irreversible brain damage.)

Edmonds said he would be “removing” himself and his family “from this unnecessary publicity.”

“I have way too much love for my wife and kids for this to happen and it’s time for us to get back to the private life we used to live,” he said. “Meghan is a truly special woman who my kids are so fortunate to have as their mother. Hoping for some peace, normalcy, and the ability to move forward in a healthy, happy direction for every single person involved.”

“I love my family and will make it right again,” he vowed.

Remember a time where Jim Edmonds was known for scaling the Center Field wall to make a sweet grab.

I sure do. . .
