Robert Bartmess Friend (born November 24, 1930 in Lafayette, Indiana) is a former right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who pitched primarily for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1951-1965), joining the New York Yankees and New York Mets in his final season of 1966. He is the first man ever to lead the league in ERA while pitching for a last place team. Friend was considered one of the most consistent and solid pitchers in the game, even considering the time he played in. Some remarked that he would not miss a start if he was dying. He attended Purdue University, and became a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. After Purdue, the Pirates became interested in Friend, signing him in 1950. His first season with them was a full one, and Friend went 6-10, not getting much run support from a horrible Pirates team that finished 6th in the 8-team league in batting average and last in stolen bases. His ERA was 4.27 as he switched off as a starter and a reliever in his rookie year, starting 22 games in 34 appearances.
