Bob Forsch is the only Pitcher in Cardinals history to pitch two no-hitters for the team and he is one of the most tenured hurlers for the team with nearly 20 years of service since he was drafted. Forsch was a late round pick in 1968 and would finally crack the roster in 1974 and in 1977 he had his best season with a 20 and 7 record and his 163 Wins are third all-time in St. Louis history.. He would lead the NL in BB/9 the next season and was a member of the Cardinals 1982 World Series win, though he went 0-2 in that year’s Fall Classic. Forsch was also a two time Silver Slugger winner with a .215 Batting Average with 12 Home Runs as a Cardinal.
