RIP Bob Forsch. Only 61 years old ... some of you may have seen him throw out the first pitch for game 7 last week.

Pitched for the Cards from 1974-88. Right hander with a record of 163-127 and a 3.67 career ERA with the Cards.

He is remembered most as the only St Louis pitcher to ever throw 2 no-hitters. I remember him best as a competitor ... sort of a Chris Carpenter of his day. In addition to being a gritty pitcher, he could also handle the bat ... won 2 Silver Slugger awards.

As Ozzie says ... heaven just got a new starter.
