BALTIMORE (AP) - Orioles bullpen coach Elrod Hendricks is working to shake the effects of a mild stroke, and the chances for a complete recovery are favorable — thanks to some quick action by team trainer Richie Bancells.
The Orioles were preparing to leave Florida after a three-game series against Tampa Bay late Thursday night when Hendricks complained about dizziness and numbness on the left side of his face.
Bancells insisted that Hendricks seek medical treatment, and accompanied him to a nearby hospital, where doctors promptly began treating the 64-year-old Hendricks for a stroke.
