There's no argument either way here with me, just pointing out some facts. We'd have to ask each player if labeling him 'Bob' on his card was what he wanted. Is there any first-hand info from Mr. Clemente himself?

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?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
