Thanks for the Memories-Bobby Jones

In 2002, Bobby Jones pitched 9.2 innings for the Padres and gave up 7 runs.  Bobby Jones used his right arm to catch.
In 2002, Bobby Jones pitched 108 innings for the Padres.  He had an ERA of 5.50.  He struck out 60 batters, while walking 21.  Bobby Jones used his right arm to throw.

In 2002, the Padres were terrible, losing 96 games and finishing in last place.  However, fans of pitchers named Bobby Jones could not have been happier.  That season, the Padres employed two pitchers, both named Bobby Jones.  Both were terrible pitchers (at least that season), but due to the remarkable coincidence of being on the same team as someone who shared their name, gave fans some interesting water-cooler material to discuss in an otherwise dreadful season of Padres baseball.  Thanks for the Memories Bobby's.
