Book Review — Orr: My Story By Bobby Orr
Early this summer, my colleague Jason Clinkscales posed the question, which athletes’ autobiographies need to be written? After very little self-deliberation, I suggested Bobby Orr.

Starting Lineups: Bobby Orr Is A Turrible Role Model
I recently finished reading Bobby Orr’s recently released autobiography Orr: My Story. While my full review is in the works, I wanted to highlight one particular passage that jumped out.
