After Winning MVP Chevy, Madison Bumgarner Shows Up To Spring Training In Ford

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (CBS SF) - Apparently not impressed by the "technology and stuff" in the Chevy truck he won after being named World Series MVP last fall, Giants ace Madison Bumgarner showed up to spring training Wednesday in a mud-soaked Ford.

Bumgarner was awarded a bright red Chevy Colorado after closing out Game 7 of the World Series in October. Chevy exec Rikk Wilde presented MadBum with the truck and the MVP award in a now-famously awkward locker-room exchange where he touted the "class leading technology and stuff" of their truck lineup. For those of you who don't remember, here's a refresher:

As of November, Bumgarner said he didn't actually know where the Chevy was.

Giants pitchers and catchers arrived at the team facility in Scottsdale Wednesday to begin their third title defense in five years with the opening workouts of Spring Training.
