“Here’s the secret to living in a log house: You got to love the color brown,” Kevin said. “But you can hang a picture anywhere.”Who said that? The proud papa of Madison Bumgarner, Most Valuable Player in the recent World Series. From his home in Appalachia the father imparts wisdom to his son in San Francisco:
‘Sometimes you’re the bug, and sometimes you’re the windshield,’ ” he said. “ ‘Sometimes you’re the pigeon, and sometimes you’re the statue.’ ”
The father, Kevin Bumgarner texted his son in the 8th inning of the seventh game:
“OMG. You’re so much more than awesome,” Kevin had written to his son. “To see you work on the mound reminds me of watching you in high school. You are willing yourself to perfection and dragging the team along with you. I couldn’t be more proud of your baseball accomplishments.”Read more here.
Kevin looked at me. “I knew he wouldn’t read that text before the game was over,” he said, “but I wanted him to know this was what his daddy thought of him.”
