"Always smiling Elrod Hendricks has participated in four Championship Series and three World Series for the Baltimore Orioles during a fine career that dates back to 1959. The 35-year-old native of the Virgin Islands has always been a dangerous hitter in Yankee Stadium, and at last, he gets to call it his home park by virtue of the big trade which brought him into a Yankee uniform.
Ellie was Mike Cuellar's favorite catcher in Baltimore - not very surprising, for he's one of the game's better defensive men behind the plate. And he's got that home run swing just tailored for the inviting right field seats in the new Yankee Stadium."
