Three World Series rings, the greatest pitching performance in playoff history, Team Roping contestant and close quarters bear hunting.

Huevos Rancheros Grande.

Anyone know of a tougher, more American athlete than Madison Bumgarner?

It must be because of the name...

Hand to hand with a bear is kinda tough, unless it’s a very small bear, you’re built like a line backer and “hand to hand” is an euphemism for “armed with spear and/or sword and clad in plate armor”.

“greatest pitching performance in playoff history”

I have read that Mickey Lolich has a different opinion.

5 year $85 million contract....$17 million per year......Almost $1 million per game and all he does is throw a fricking ball......

Pro sports and their salaries have gotten too far out of line.......but yet the fans continue to support them.

Mr Bumgarner gets paid well because only a few guys in the world can throw the ball well enough to get professional batters out.

If you could do it, you’d be wealthy too.
