Tommy Edman isn’t a souvenir collector, but he might let one keepsake stick around.
The Cardinals infielder recorded his first Major League hit Friday at Citi Field, a double into center field that eventually led him around the bases to tie the game in the third inning. He went to third on Daniel Ponce de Leon’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Matt Carpenter’s sacrifice fly. It set the Cardinals on track for a 9-5 win over the Mets.
Edman, who was called up a week ago, was in the starting lineup for the first time Friday, playing second base. When he knocked the double, the Cardinals' dugout celebrated. Jose Martinez got the ball from the Mets’ infield and carried it into the dugout with two hands, a prized possession that couldn’t be dropped.
But Edman was too focused on his first time standing on Major League bases to be worried about the ball just yet. Down 1-0 at the time, he knew he needed to do what he could do put the Cardinals on the board.
“When I got to second, I was like, ‘OK, it’s my first time on base, I’m going to make sure I’m doing everything right,'” Edman said. “Making sure I know how many outs, making sure I’m getting to third. I didn’t really get to cherish it at the moment because I wanted to make sure I was doing everything right on the bases. Once I got back in the dugout, after scoring the run, I was able to relax a little bit.”
Edman received the ball Saturday with the inscription and date on it. He’s not sure what he’ll do with it yet -- right now, it’s sitting in his backpack -- but he might give it to his parents, who were at Citi Field with his sister and a few friends Friday.

Need the good Hudson. Luckily, Cano isn't playing. Less lefty bats is a good thing.
