I've heard the same. It always seemed to me a term of affection, not meant as a slight to the Great One.

Roberto was absolutely adamant that he be called Roberto. I would never buy an autograph of his where his name was not signed as Roberto, one, because I'd question the authenticity, and two, because it just wouldn't look right to me.

He has one of my favorite signatures of all-time. Right up there, for me, personally, with that of Ken Griffey Jr.
