Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor has had an eventful week. After punching Jose Bautista in the face on Sunday during a truly epic on-field brawl, he was given an eight-game suspension on Tuesday. But that punch earned him more than just a suspension. It has also earned him a never-ending supply of Texas-style barbecue.
According to NBCDFW.com, a Fort Worth, Texas barbecue joint called Heim's Barbecue decided that Odor's punch was worth free meals for life, so Odor will never have to pay for a meal there. In fact, they're so serious about giving him free meals for life that they even sold a T-shirt emblazoned with "Rougned Eats Free."
Sold is the operative word, though. The T-shirt had an extremely limited run of just 200, and they're all sold out. (It's one of a few T-shirts that have commemorated the Odor punch).
So if the suspension is getting Odor down, now he has a great way to fix that. He can soothe his feelings with plate after plate of smoked and barbecued meats. There are certainly worse and less tasty ways of getting through a suspension.
