Well, that didn’t take very long at all, now did it? The Giants are already poking fun at their former pitcher Madison Bumgarner and his cowboy alter ego Mason Saunders.
Over the weekend it was revealed that Bumgarner had been posing as Mason Saunders to secretly compete in rodeos which, by the way, is completely ridiculous and absolutely hilarious.
The San Jose Giants are going to have some fun with it. The San Francisco Giants’ minor league club is having a “Mason Saunders” promotion night celebrating former Giants’ and current Diamondbacks’ pitcher Madison Bumgarner and his cowboy alter ego Mason Saunders.
The Giants are giving away two free tickets to a future game to anyone who wears a rodeo outfit or a Bumgarner jersey and will have roping promotions to go along with that.
The kicker, though? It’s this absolutely A1 photoshop that comes with the promotion.
This ain’t our first rodeo!
Saddle up and join us Friday, June 5 as we celebrate #SJGiants alum, Madison Bumgarner, and his rodeo alias Mason Saunders…complete with a shirsey giveaway, roping promotions and special Turkey Mike’s BBQ menu items. ⚾️🐎https://t.co/XWE9DdgDt1 pic.twitter.com/rdXUXgatfL

Don’t know who cooked that up overnight, but man that is some handy work.
The Giants are saying that this is just them paying respect to one of their legends, which would be a cool and fine gesture…if it was true. This is absolutely them poking a bit of fun at their former pitcher who moonlighted as a cowboy. And you know what? I’m here for it.
