RIP Bob Forsch
This guy is the only Cardinal to throw two no-nos and half of the only pair of brothers to pitch a no-hitter. He threw out the first pitch at Game 7 of this year's World Series, subbing for an ailing Whitey Herzog. Yet, somehow, he died of unknown causes today.
Condolences to his family and the entire Cardinals organization.

Whitey had a fall at home a couple of weeks ago. Heard he busted up his hip.Gil Dobie wrote:Big surprise, RIP
What is Whitey ailing from?
Sad to hear about Forsch. He died of an aneurysm in his chest. Apparently, there was no indication of health problems prior to that.

Re: RIP Bob Forsch
Herzog fell down and got hurt bad. No word I can find on specific injuries, but at his age there's a good chance that his hip was involved.Gil Dobie wrote:Big surprise, RIP

Re: RIP Bob Forsch
He locked in good health and great shape when I talked to him a couple years ago. He was concerned about Stan Musial's health though.SuperHornet wrote:Herzog fell down and got hurt bad.
