  • More than 10,000 people named Bob have entered the world of sports. Today, there are only nine. Bobs are special people, and in losing them to retirement, we stand to lose more than we might imagine.
    P.S. This is the 1930s high school basketball game Jon was talking about, at the 6:38 mark: • The H. V. Porter Films...

    Hey everybody, quick story about Bob Cousy in Blue Chips. I got work as a production assistant for an upcoming documentary on the NBA 75th season. We had to interview Bob Cousy, currently in his 90s. He told a ton of stories but he talked about the free throws in blue chips while we were setting up.
    According to Bob, he hit 21 in a row between all of the takes. Now i can't confirm it for a fact, but he was very self deferential and humble, not one to brag. So personally I believe him.

      I would’ve loved to see a video about the famous Jack’s in history, for obvious reasons. Like “Bob,” most people called “Jack” aren’t Jack on the their birth certificate. Usually “Jo(h)nathan” but instead of John, some go by Jack. Not me, though. The name on my birth certificate is Jack.
      People apparently think this is so uncommon I’ve received three separate first paychecks at jobs made out to Jo(h)nathan. I couldn’t cash them, because that’s not me.
      Maybe I’m biased (lol) but I feel like I would like the name Jack even if it wasn’t my own. I feel like a special snowflake, in a world of John’s and occasionally James’ masquerading as Jacks? I’m
      the real deal.

      I’d argue Pedro Martinez’s 2000 was an even bigger statistical outlier. He had an ERA of 1.74 pitching in the AL East during the height of the steroid era. His ERA+ that year was 291, on a scale where 100 is average. Meaning, Pedro was almost 3 times better that season than the average pitcher. For reference, the only pitcher to ever record a higher ERA+ was Tim Keefe way back in his rookie year of 1880 when baseball was a completely different game.

      Remember that Pedro Martinez was throwing up earned run average of 1.6 in an era where the second-best was 3.7, and The League average was five.

    Do you think John made this video just to test whether or not we would watch literally anything he made?
    If so then he’s proved in convincing fashion that yes, yes we will.

    Me prior to watching and first two minutes in: “who the hell makes a 42 minute video on athletes named bob? Who would watch it? I do wanna see that terrible baseball card though”
    Me 3.5 minutes in: “I am completely fascinated and intrigued. 40 minutes of bobs. Let’s do this.”

    Jesus, I really thought this was going to be a bit, but this is one of the most legitimately fascinating videos I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Thanks for this, man, this is really genius stuff.

    This is a 40+ minute statistical analysis of athletes named bob... and I was highly entertained 10/10

    I called work to say I'll be late because I'm watching chart party.
    Manager wasn't there, he was at home watching chart party.
