My point is that 'Bob' has always been a ready shorthanded version of Robert in America, so it naturally would also be used with the 'semi-strange' name of Roberto (spelled the same with an additional 'o' at the end). Were there many Robertos playing at the time? It's a pretty common name in America now, but back then?
