Diamondbacks' Madison Bumgarner has been living a secret life as a dual-sport athlete, participating on the professional rodeo circuit, roping steer. 🤠
, conceded he didn’t know anything about his rodeo gig. He didn’t scour through Facebook to find a picture showing Bumgarner and another rodeo professional winning $26,560 in a team-roping event in December in Wickenburg, Ariz.
“He’s a cowboy,’’ veteran Diamondbacks pitcher Edwin Jackson said. “He’s proud of it. He’s probably been riding horses and doing this his whole life.’’ The Giants could have responded the same in 2017 when Bumgarner rode a dirt bike in the Colorado mountains, slipped and fell, spraining the AC joint in his pitching shoulder. He missed nearly three months and made just 17 starts that year.
It’s unknown whether he plans to curtail his activities now that he is locked up to the second-largest contract in Diamondbacks history. Ultimately it's up to the organization if it wants to stop him. But if the Diamondbacks or anyone else think that Bumgarner simply is going to sit at home all winter, or stay home and watch TV on his off days this season, they don’t know the man., “I take them serious. That’s just my personality. I don’t do anything just for fun, per se. I wish I did.”
