Here's a delightful revelation: Major league pitcher Madison Bumgarner has been secretly entering — and sometimes winning — rodeo events under the alias Mason Saunders.
Bumgarner, who has been roping since he was a teenager in North Carolina, told the site that the alias was a way to keep a low profile at rodeo events. He explained that"Mason" is a shortened version of his first name, while"Saunders" is his wife's maiden name.
Bumgarner was a free agent at the time of the December event, but he also reportedly competed in an event in March while still under contract with the Giants. His new boss, Diamondbacks General Manager Mike Hazen, said Monday that he was unaware of his new pitcher's rodeo exploits. But the GM says he doesn't tell players what they can and can't do in their own time.the."Those have been the conversations that we've had, from the time we first talked to him until very recently.""It's pretty impressive how he hid this. And he won, right? I mean, jeez.
