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.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Fiat Marea is a family car available as a saloon and an estate (Fiat Marea Weekend), produced by the Italian automaker Fiat. Launched in 1996, the Marea models were essentially different body styles of Fiat's hatchback offerings, the Bravo and Brava. The Marea replaced the earlier Tipo-based Fiat Tempra. While the Fiat Stilo Multiwagon is the successor of the Marea Weekend, the Fiat Linea is scheduled to replace the saloon version in 2007. The Marea was originally manufactured in Fiat's Cassino and Mirafiori plants in Italy. Later the Marea also superseded the Tempra in Brazilian (Betim) and Turkish (in Bursa, with Tofas) plants, which make vehicles mostly for local and other developing markets. In Europe, production and sales of the Marea ceased in 2002, a year after the Bravo and Brava were replaced with the Fiat Stilo. The Marea Weekend was replaced by the Stilo Multiwagon, while the saloon was dropped altogether due to relatively low popularity of compact saloon cars in Europe.
