Bob Forsch, Matty Alou Die: Pitcher Bob Forsch, who threw two no-hitters for the St. Louis Cardinals, died Thursday night at age 61, less than a week after throwing out the first pitch at game 7 of the World Series. Forsch's 163 wins for the Cardinals trails only Bob Gibson (251) and Jesse "Pop" Haines (210). Matty Alou, the 1966 National League batting champion for the Pittsburgh Pirates, also died Thursday. He was 72.
