My Take
Madison Bumgarner, the man they call MadBum, is the kind of pitcher I find genuinely romantic. A 196 cm kid from rural Hudson, North Carolina, he became a three-time World Series champion and authored one of the greatest postseason performances ever in 2014, sweeping up MVP honors and pitching seemingly forever. He could hit too, with two Silver Sluggers. What I love is the unpretentious, almost cowboy temperament: no fuss, just results when the lights are brightest. Big-game competitors who let their arm do the talking always win me over, and Bumgarner is a vintage example of that breed.
