Edwards (fl. 1915) was an American professional baseball infielder. He played for the Philadelphia Athletics during the 1915 season.
Edwards was one of several players who debuted for Connie Mack's Athletics on September 17, 1915. He was described in The Philadelphia Inquirer as being "from the Chicago semi-pro ranks."[1] He was described in the Evening Public Ledger as being from the Chicago City League. Per the Public Ledger, he was "believed" to be "a collegian playing under an assumed name" in order to preserve his amateur status.[2]
Until October 2024, he was misidentified as "Ralph Strunk Edwards."[3]
