Rougned Odor of the Texas Rangers famously delivered a right hook to Jose Bautista's jaw last May, and it now appears some Atlanta Braves fans would like to see Jace Peterson give the Toronto Blue Jays star a punch, too.

On Thursday, one day after Bautista drew the ire of Peterson and the Braves by flipping his bat following an eighth-inning homer in a heated affair at SunTrust Park, one Atlanta fan showed up to the ballpark brandishing a poster of last year's unforgettable punch - except with Peterson's face Photoshopped onto Odor's body. Peterson signed it.

Eric O'Flaherty, the Braves reliever who served up Bautista's incendiary solo shot in the eighth Wednesday, alluded to the Odor punch after his club's 8-4 victory.

"I'm surprised (Bautista's) ready to fight again after last year," O'Flaherty quipped.

Should fisticuffs break out Thursday, however, Peterson may not be the most qualified person to take a swing at Bautista, given his .208/.315/.286 batting line through 30 games this year.
