Bob Friend was purchased by the Mets from the New York Yankees on June 15th, 1966. Friend, nicknamed "Warrior", appeared in 22 games for the Mets, starting 12. The '66 season was his 16th in the big leagues and unfortunately, Bob didn't have much left by the time he reached Shea. With a 5-8 record to go along with a 4.40 ERA, Bob was released on October 17th, 1966.
The "Warrior" ball was purchased off of eBay, the second '65 Mets baseball was signed by Mr. Friend after being mailed to his home.
