Edwards appeared in 35 games for the Philadelphia Phillies during the 1970 season, hitting .269 with 21 hits over 78 at-bats.
It was the first Major league action for the backstop since the 1965 season when he split the year between the Kansas City Athletics and New York Yankees, appearing in 51 games combined.
Turns out, even though he was still only 33 years of age, those 35 games in 1970 would end up being the last of his Major League career.
He would finish his five year career with a .238 batting average, with 216 hits in 906 at-bats over 317 games, hitting 15 homers with 87 runs batted in and 69 runs scored.
Between 1987 and 1989 he would manage the Cleveland Indians, finishing up his managerial tenure with a record of 173 and 207.
