Former Cardinals pitcher Bob Forsch died yesterday. He was 61. The timing is especially odd, considering he threw out the first pitch at Game 7, one week ago tonight. Below is a post from the STLtoday.com comments section from someone with the handle BillPilgrim. Thought it was a nice story. 

"As a 3rd grader in 1975, I had surgery to repair both of my knees. My recovery required that I wear a body cast for 2 or 3 months. Bob Forsch visited me in my hospital bed at home after a few of my classmates mentioned to him that I was unable to attend his appearance at my school. He couldn't have been a nicer guy. I will always remember that visit. I also remember that he drove a Porsche at that time. Bob Forsch drives a Porsche. He will be missed."
