Henry Anderson Rodríguez Lorenzo (born November 8 1967 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who played for the Montreal Expos, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, and Florida Marlins from 1992 to 2002.
Rodríguez was a member of the 1996 National League All-Star team as a member of the Expos, hitting a career high 36 home runs that year.
Henry was a key player on the Cubs 1998 Wild Card winning team, and the addition of his bat into the cleanup slot in the Cub lineup helped give slugger Sammy Sosa, who hit third, an advantage, as Sosa slugged 66 homers in 1998.
Henry is nicknamed "H-Rod" and sometimes "Oh Henry!", after the candy bar. After a Rodriguez home run, it was traditional to throw Oh Henry! bars onto the field. In 2000, during a contest at Wrigley Field, the practice came to an end after four fans were arrested for throwing the candy into left field.
