Happy 60th birthday Bobby Orr

60 years ago today the greatest hockey player of them all was born in Parry Sound, Ontario.

One can argue that he is the most popular player in Boston sports history or at the very least at the same level as Ted Williams, Bill Russell, Larry Bird or Tom Brady.

I suppose some people in the 80's remember him more for his commercials for a long forgotten bank


The night his number was retired in the Boston Garden there was not a dry eye in the house.
