You know how the old saying goes: Two Rougned Odors are better than one. What? That's not a saying?
Well, it ought to be one in Arlington soon, because the Texas Rangers just signed the younger brother of their 21-year-old second baseman Rougned Odor. And get this, his name is also Rougned Odor.
He's 17 and, like big bro, is a middle infielder. He's expected to begin playing in the Venezuela summer league, while the older Odor hopes to be the starting second baseman for the Rangers this year after playing 114 games as a rookie in 2014.
The name Rougned Odor (pronounced ROOG-ned o-DOOR) is great enough as it is, but the fact that are two of them and they're playing on the same team is just beautiful. In fact, it's pretty much the best baseball name news since we found out Madison Bumgarner dated Madison Bumgarner.
We can only hope that one day the Rangers will be able to sub in Rougned Odor for Rougned Odor. Or turn an Odor-Odor-3 double play. In case you're wondering: There is a third Odor in baseball. Their uncle Rouglas Jose Odor is a minor-league hitting coach in the Cleveland Indians organization.
As far as we know, none of them stink.
