The Bob Emergency: a study of athletes named Bob, Part I | Chart Party

14/02/202320 Comments

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: https://youtu.be/79JcZkpw_SY

    How about a video concerning the "Stephen" emergency, where no one knows how to pronounce the name correctly thanks to a certain NBA star. Asking for a friend…

    My college roommate once set out to count all the times Nolte says "G D it!" in Blue Chips. I think he always lost track!

    A lot of old boxing records were fake. The fight promoter would do that to pump up attendance. Just FYI. Before the internet people would lie a lot about their records. Cc Joe Biden

    I love how he refers too 'Bobs' as a homogeneous faction working as a group or competing in a human competition

    My father's name was Bob. I got Rob, Robbie. Born in the 80's.
    As a Bob Jr I have to say,
    "Bob, it's so generic yet so rare."
    That got me.
    Funny stuff.
