Madison Bumgarner competing in rodeos under an alias has to be the most Madison Bumgarner thing to ever be done.

So MadBum has been competing in rodeos in Arizona this off-season, netting a $26,560 payday in early December. Chump change for a man that just signed a five year $85million dollar contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks this offseason. HOW THE HELL CAN HE BE MORE DOWN TO EARTH!!! This is a three time World Series champion and World Series MVP with the San Francisco giants, and he’s out here slinging rope. He used the alias Mason Saunders as to not draw any attention the the fact that he’s a world class athlete and I just find all of this very amusing.

I hope after all this surfaced, he can still enjoy a little bull wranglin’ in the offseason. Stay great Lefty!!!

What’s wrong with baseball today

There can be many things said about what is wrong with baseball today. Between the enormous cheating scandal or the commissioner calling his own trophy a “piece of metal” one glaring stain remains, the viewership is down.

Between blackouts and overpriced tickets and concession items, it seems the league and teams owners are making it increasingly hard to enjoy the game we love. A family of five is hard pressed to get out of the ballpark without spending upwards of five hundred plus dollars, that’s way to much to enjoy a game. By lowering ticket prices you are making it more desirable for people to attend multiple games per year. If you lower concession prices, you’ll make it easier for a father to buy food for his kids and still have enough for his sixteen ounce ballpark beer without breaking the bank, and don’t come at me with dollar dog night, while it’s a great promotion those hot dogs are barely worth a dollar as is.

With all of that being said, there is a lot this league could do as a whole to help the middle class American enjoy the game for cheaper than they are now. Until that happens, I’ll just go broke watching the game I love.

Thanks for joining me!
