I find your inclusion of Valentine to be offensive. 

Also thoughts on the disappearance of the name “Bob” at the MLB level?

I didn't include Bobs on my list, just Bobbys. Otherwise we'd have Bob Montgomery, Bob Stanley and others listed. Robs, Robbys and Roberts are right out. 

The closest we get now is:

Bobby Witt Jr

Bobby Miller

Robbie Ray

And about 4 or 5 Roberts depending on the year

There just aren’t many Bob’s anymore, at least not in MLB.  When Tampa’s Bob Seymour debuted last year, there was an article about how he was the first player to go by “Bob” since Bob Howry retired in 2010…

In MLB the show (video game) , you can toggle on legends, and so I had a franchise with Bob Feller as my ace and he was realllllly good (at least in the game).  Heater from Van Meter.

I assume you didn’t have 95 year old Bob Feller.  But I do hope the game gave you that option..
