Edwards has two brothers who also played in the major leagues, Dave Edwards and Marshall Edwards, who is Mike's twin. He and Marshall played collegiate baseball together at LA City College and UCLA.
On August 10, 1978, he became the first American League second baseman to turn two unassisted double plays in the same game, a feat only accomplished once more since then (by Luis Alicea in 1997) and by zero National League second baseman since 1899.[1]
