Rougned Odor taunts Jose Bautista with fake Dirk Nowitzki punch
Texas Rangers infielder Rougned Odor hung out with some of the Dallas Mavericks players at their team facility on Thursday, and it sounds like the right hand he threw at Jose Bautista was a big topic of conversation.
Dirk Nowitzki shared a photo on Twitter that featured Odor pretending to punch him in the face. Keep in mind Odor is currently still serving his suspension for decking Bautista.

Nowitzki wasn’t the only one to crack a well-timed joke, either. Chandler Parsons also shared a photo and referred to the 5-foot-11 Odor, who looked tiny standing next to Nowitzki and Parsons, as the Mavs’ new team security:
As you probably saw, Odor was at the center of a brawl between the Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays last month when he punched Bautista right in the jaw. You can see the video here.
While he was suspended eight games because of it, Odor has been having a lot of fun with the incident. He was even planning autograph photos of his punch for fans, but that session was squashed by the team for the time being. This is clearly a man with no regrets.
