How about all the Topps cards that called Roberto Clemente, Bob - I realize by some comparisons, it is not as bad, and it may seem like splitting hairs, but this was a Great player and a Great Man and he should have been treated with more respect.
Sure Bob and Bobby are almost universally accepted nicknames for Robert, it may not have been that way for Roberto in Puerto Rico and just like Giancarlo Stanton, Mr. Clemente should have had the right to be called what he wanted to be called.
