#394 Ken Forsch
Another brother act.... eventually....Ken
secured a starting spot with 1971 Astros....Brother Bob would eventually
surface in 1974....the only brothers in MLB history to both throw no
hitters....an odd career after a late season call up in 1970 began as a starter for three years....took a four season exile to
bullpen....returned to starting in last portion of career and had the best
returns....played 11 seasons in Houston then three full ones and two fragments of seasons in Anaheim....never a big winner, topping out at
13 victories in 1982....finished with 114 wins, 113 losses, in 521 games...decent 3.37 ERA mark....never
the less made two all star teams something Bob never did who once was a 20 game winner....went into Houston
Astro’s front office after his playing days.
