BALTIMORE — There isn’t an official name yet, and there might never be one. But it will be known regardless by whatever nickname catches the fancy of the fan base — something to know the right angle that now stands in left-center field of Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Perhaps Adley’s Angle, once top prospect Adley Rutschman receives his call-up to Baltimore and drives a few balls to that part of the park. Maybe the Camden Corner, or the Right Angle of Russell Street or Elrod’s Corner — which is unofficially being encouraged by several Orioles staffers in reference to longtime player and bullpen coach Elrod Hendricks, who died in 2005.
The name for that unique bit of wall, however, means less than the fact it’s in place, part of the first redevelopment of the field dimensions at Camden Yards since a brief alteration in 2001.
