Ten years ago Bobby Orr sent my brother and I signed posters.

That is maybe the coolest story I’ve ever read on reddit

I have the same photo- signed but not framed yet. My mom's husband is friends with some of the managers of the Lightning in Tampa and he got me a copy but it is not addressed to me, just signed. This is awesome. I have heard that he is a really wonderful person. #4 Bobby Orr!

As a blues fan, I’m glad i can now enjoy this picture for the awesome play Orr made and not be salty one bit.

I read the title as "Bobby Ryan sent" and then was super confused by the picture.

Back in 2010, my mom ran into Bobby Orr at YVR as he was leaving Vancouver after the Olympic closing ceremonies. She asked him to sign a boarding pass since it was all she had on her but he said he could do better than that and asked for our address. Couple weeks later, a poster tube arrives in the mail with two signed posters.
Mine has had a place of honour in every place I've lived since.
Props to both Bobby Orr and your mom! Wow! This is an amazing thing to have.
