Minor league baseball teams need to take advantage of any opportunity to get people to come to games, and a Texas Rangers affiliate had a promotion fall right into their laps.

The drink is obviously an homage to the punch Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor delivered to Jose Bautista on Sunday. Here’s the detailed description of the drink, from the Frisco Roughriders‘ website.
The beverage is the perfect blend of ingredients made as an homage to Odor, who played for the Riders in parts of 2013 and 2014. It contains fruit punch (in honor of his prodigious right hook), an energy drink (perfect for those looking to embody Odor’s ferocious and frenetic style of play), and a secret ingredient from Odor’s native Venezuela (Rougie’s Red PUNCH will be available to fans 21-and-older only!).
The price of the drink was set in honor of the date of Odor’s infamous punch, $5.15, which is a nice touch.
