Scene That I Love: Rougned Odor Punches Jose Bautista

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

This scene isn’t from a movie but it is one that I love and that I’ve watched a dozen times today.

Here’s what those of us watching the Rangers/Blue Jays game saw yesterday.

I’m usually against violence and I don’t like it when grown men act like children but I’m also a Rangers fan and Jose “Bat Flip” Bautista got what he deserved.  After Bautista’s hard slide into 2nd base, Odor is lucky he didn’t end up with a broken leg and Bautista’s lucky that Adrian Beltre was there to carry him to safety.

Here it is again:

For the record, that game was the last time that the Rangers and Blue Jays are scheduled to play during the regular season.  With a final score of 6-5, the Rangers not only won the game but also swept the series!

Artist Profile: Jules Aarons (1921 — 2008)

Jules Aarons was born in New York City and served during World War II.  After studying physics at Boston University, he won a Fulbright scholarship and earned his Ph.D. at the University of Paris.  As a physicist, Aarons worked as the senior scientist at the Air Force Geophysics Research Lab and was one of the pioneers in the study of radio-wave propagation.   Over the course of his long and distinguished scientific career, Aarons published over a hundred scientific papers.

However, Aarons was not just a scientist.  He was also a photographer who was widely acclaimed for the pictures of Boston street life that he captured in the late 1940s and the 1950s.  Aarons photography was spontaneous, with the subjects often but not always unaware that they were being photographed.  As a street photographer, Aarons focused on capturing the day-to-day life of people of all classes and backgrounds.
