Madison Bumgarner embodies Paul Bunyan, chops down tree

If anyone deserved a well-needed rest after the postseason, it was San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. After racking up a ridiculous 52 2/3 innings in October, bringing his yearly total to an astouding 270 innings, no one would have blamed Bumgarner for going home and taking it easy for the next four months.

Madison Bumgarner is not most people. Instead of resting, Bumgarner spends his offseason chopping down a tree. 

It looks like Bumgarner has done this type of thing before. In fact, we already know he’s no stranger to honoring Paul Bunyan.

In the ad, Bumgarner talks about how tough it is to be a baseball player and a rancher. He must have a great sense of humor, because it’s hard to imagine anything is tough for Bumgarner after the past few months.
