Hendricks was "The King of York"

Longtime Baltimore Oriole Elrod Hendricks, who died of a heart attack Wednesday night, was the most active Oriole in showing up at community events.

"He was without comparison,� Julie Wagner, Baltimore’s director of corporate relations, told The Baltimore Sun.

“He is the king of York,� Wagner added. “You can’t go there without him or everybody says, ‘Where’s Elrod?’ No matter who you brought up — we brought Frank Robinson one time — if you didn’t have Elrod for York Sports Night, people were going to be disappointed.�
