For St.Louis Cardinal baseball fans, seeing any no-hitter in St. Louis has been very difficult to come by. It’s been over 100 years since an opposing pitcher has thrown a no-hitter IN ST. LOUIS against the Cardinals. So what!!?- you might say. Yeah, well chew on this: Bob Forsch is the only Cardinal pitcher to throw a no-hitter at home in over 100 years- and he threw two of them. Soooo….If you didn’t see at least one of Forsch’s no-hitters, then you haven’t seen a no-hitter ever in St.Louis….. unless your over a 100 years old!!!
