Nice Bob Friend, Bob.

There are a couple National League pitchers from the 50s and 60s I've always felt were overlooked when it came to discussions of star pitchers. Bob Friend and Lew Burdette are on that short list. I bring them up together quite often, and people are surprised to learn that they combined for 400 wins. 197 for Friend, and 203 for Burdette. Two great pitchers from my favorite two teams of that era.
