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

Miss part 1? Watch it here:

For more than a century, many of our greatest sports heroes were named Bob. It seemed as though that would never change. Why would it? Why did it? Where did they go?

Corrections:
2:00 - Although these jump distances are correct, a couple of them are in slightly incorrect positions on the ruler. I’d made some adjustments to the ruler after laying some of the markers, and just forgot to adjust those accordingly.

45:00 - The graph is correct, and I am a liar. Bob Wheatley’s career actually stretched between 2014 and 2017, as you can see in the green area that stretches to 2017.
