Basically, when Orr retired I gave up watching hockey. As great a hitter that Ted Williams was, he's comparable to Manny on defense. He wasn't a threat to steal bases. He was arguably the greatest hitter of all time, not the greatest athlete. There is nothing I could possibly say to you if you do not see the magnificence of Orr, maybe that's the problem, you've never seen him.
I grew up playing hockey, as did everyone in my neighborhood, winter and summer (on the street). So I have no bias against hockey, as some have suggested. I have seen Orr play, I've met him in person and have an autographed picture of him.
