Madison Bumgarner chugs four cans of beer at once after Giants win wild card

There's no one way to celebrate, but if there were: This is how you do it.

Left-hander Madison Bumgarner of the San Francisco Giants might like pro wrestling, because he looked an awful lot like one of the better grapplers of our time after dominating the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night.

Bumgarner tossed a four-hitter, striking out 10 in an 8-0 victory in the National League wild-card game, sending the Giants to the next round against the Washington Nationals. But first: Celebrate with alcoholic beverages. Bumgarner has four cans in total: two Budweisers and two Bud Lights. Hey, MadBum? Got any I.C. Light in there?

 

 

Sean Gentile of the Sporting News got the shot and captioned a moment that is reminiscent of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, a Hollywood actor but also a former WWE champ who was known to crack open a brew or two — or four — and guzzle them down all at once:

 

After leading the Giants to a romp in the win-or-go-home round, the NL Division Series beckons. If the Giants can get past the Nats, what can Bumgarner do to top guzzling four beers at once? A six-pack? Kegger? Will he juggle and chuggle two Coors Light Party Balls? Not even Stone Cold dared to do that much in his day as a pro athlete/drinker.

And that's the bottom line, because MadBum said so.
