OBR is the abbrebriation of "Official Baseball Rules", the rules of Major League Baseball. It comes from the rule book which MLB publishes, they name it the Official Baseball Rules.
We used to call them "Pro rules" years ago, I wish that we went back to that title/usage. It makes things a lot easier for new people.
And just in case:
FED- National Federation High School Baseball Rules
NCAA- NCAA College rules
NAIA- NAIA (Small School College) Rules
LL- Little League Rules
BR (Babe Ruth), PONY, USSSA, Legion: All these organizations use OBR rules with some changes in rules/interpretations as appropriate to their level of Baseball. Some people on the board will ask a specific question dealing a specific rule code which may have a different answer than "straight" OBR
