WAIT..WHAT?!? | All in a name: Madison Bumgarner rules the (softball) mound | Yahoo Sports

C'mon man!?!? Are we getting a weird glimpse of a parallel universe?

The one where the Cubs are the preeminent dynasty in baseball and the Yankees are the sad-sacks?

from Yahoo Sports:
All in a name: Madison Bumgarner rules the (softball) mound | Prep Rally - Yahoo Sports:
How many Madison Bumgarner's are there? Apparently, at least three. They all hail from the same small town in South Carolina. One is the 2014 World Series MVP. Another once dated that MVP. And now NBC Charlotte reports a third is emerging as a star on the softball mound.  It gets confusing, following all of the Bumgarners in South Caldwell, a.k.a. "Bumtown." The high school softball pitcher says she is a sixth cousin of the San Francisco Giants pitcher. They must have inherited at least a few of the same genes, as the younger Bumgarner is tearing up the competition this season.

That would mean the Giants really finished last three of the last five years, wouldn't it?

It was creepy enough to hear Madison Bumgarner ( the Giant ) actually dated a girl named Madison Bumgarner, now this. And I'm not a prude, for the most part, but c'mon. Where does it all end?

I think I can tell them apart though.

His off-season workout seems to revolve around activities that drive away "sissy hands". I'm sure the distaff Madison Bumgarner's workout does not address such concerns.

She likely refers to her defense the way most people refer to belly-buttons, i.e.: "innies" ( for infielders ) and "outies ( for outfielders ).  I hear this on the softball field all the time, and there it seems perfectly appropriate and acceptable, but I swear if I hear this on a baseball field -- like with the songs thingy -- I will stop the game and lodge some form of protest. That would be a first.

I'm going to go out on a limb and venture a guess that Madison Bumgarner ( the Giant ) has never referred to his infielders as "innies" or his outfielders as "outies". At least, I hope he hasn't.

Maybe I'm the weird one. Or perhaps, I got sent to the wrong universe by accident.
