When he was referred to as “Bob”, was that something Clemente was agreeable with?

Or was it condescension on the part of media and the establishment?

I’ve read in several sources over the years that Clemente very much disliked the “Bob” references.

I remember when Timo Perez came up with the Mets and he was very outspoken - as a rookie - about the press and fans calling him “Tim O’Neil” Perez (pronouncing it that way).
