Bob Forsch’s 15 year career with the St. Louis Cardinals now seems atypical in baseball. With today’s free agency rules, players who stay with one team after their arbitration years, are somewhat uncommon.
However, the Cardinal Hall of Fame member, played during a different age of baseball and stayed with the Cardinals organization from his signing in 1968 until he was traded in 1988. After being called up in 1974, Forsch had a 20 win season(1977), two no-hitters, two Silver Slugger awards.
Even with his great career, it was the 1982 season and his performance specifically in the NLCS that many Cardinal fans will remember.
