Today’s issue was written by Kate.

Editor’s pick: The punch heard ‘round the world — Anyone remember when Texas Ranger Rougned Odor slugged Blue Jay José Bautista in an all-out brawl in 2016? Yeah, we do too. 🥊

And now it’s memorialized on the side of Gilberto’s Taco Shop at 611 W. Park Row Dr. in Arlington thanks to Texas muralist Juan Velázquez.

While both players — and a coach from each team — were ejected due to the incident, it certainly made for one heck of a game. Tell us — what are some of the wildest sports moments you’ve seen from local teams?
