Jack is really John.
For generations - since Adam and Eve, he says - the first male Schmidt has always been (and must always be) named John.
Jack's youngest son, Jacob, will become a father tomorrow. And, as he will be the first boy Schmidt of this generation, he will be a John.
It is common for the new John to be given his father's name as his middle name, but wait - that would make him - John Jacob Schmidt. Hear the Jingleheimer in there? It's implied.
Update: Jacob Alexander was born Oct. 11. He may not be a John, but he's a healthy happy grandson!
