Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Madison Bumgarner showed up in style against the Giants on the Fourth of July.

Bumgarner took the field with the American flag draped over his shoulders during the 8-3 win over the Giants, and the video is pure America. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Give it a watch below.

It’s great to see an American athlete who loves the red, white and blue. Ever since Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem, many in the media have tried to convince us that there’s nothing great about this country or the flag.

People are more or less shamed into openly criticizing America or at the very least, remaining silent. Remember when Drew Brees said he wasn’t down with kneeling for the anthem and he was treated like he committed a war crime?

Clearly, Bumgarner loves this amazing country we call home, and he’s not afraid to show off that love for all the fans in the stadium and watching on TV.

People are craving patriotic content and we want to inject a new sense of American excellence into our country’s soul. A superstar athlete proudly carrying the flag is exactly what I want to see.

Props to Bumgarner for repping America on our nation’s birthday!
