English term or phrase: Never made a B
Sigo con el scrip sobre autos.
Ahora me encuentro con esta frase que tampoco entiendo a qué se refiere.

68 GTX convertible, four-speed, 440 car,
original, numbers match and everything.

This started the addiction.


I know the answer to this question,
but I'm gonna ask it anyway.

Was your dad a professional wrestler?


My dad, you know, went to Harvard,
went to Hopkins…

-Was an OB-GYN.
-Right.

Never made a B in his life, for God sakes.

Explanation:
I believe it refers to exam marks. Never made a B, like he received all A's. It's kind of confusing the context you provided but it sounds like his father personal judged for being an OB-GYN.
