1976 Topps - Bob Forsch #426 (Pitcher) (b. 13 Jan 1950 - d. 3 Nov 2011 at age 61) - Autographed Baseball Card (St. Louis Cardinals)

            Robert Herbert Forsch (b. January 13, 1950 – d. November 3, 2011 at age 61 ) was an American right-handed starting pitcher who spent most of his sixteen years in MLB with the St. Louis Cardinals (1974–1988) before finishing his playing career with the Houston Astros (1988–1989). He was a member of the 1982 World Series Champions and National League pennant winners in 1985 and 1987.

A twenty-game winner in 1977, and with 163 wins in a St. Louis uniform, Forsch is the third-winningest pitcher in team history through 2013, trailing Bob Gibson (251) and Jesse Haines (210). He is also the only player in team history to pitch more than one no-hitter, achieving it twice in 1978 and 1983. Along with Ken Forsch, they are the only brothers to have each performed the feat in the majors.

Forsch was one of the better hitting pitchers of his era. He hit twelve career home runs, batted over .300 in 1975, won the inaugural Silver Slugger Award for NL pitchers in 1980 and a second Silver Slugger award in 1987. Forsch's no-hitters were the only two ever thrown at Busch Memorial Stadium.

Career statistics:
Win–loss record - 168–136
ERA - 3.76
Strikeouts - 1,133
