There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical about Tim Tebow’s attempt to play professional baseball.
But one thing that can’t be denied is the guy has an incredible amount of athletic talent.
The former Broncos first-rounder started his baseball career in just about the Tebow-est way possible today, hitting a home run to the opposite field in his first at-bat, via ESPN.
Tebow was signed by the Mets, and sent to their instructional league team in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Today’s game was against a bunch of Cardinals prospects, and from the video, it looks like the smallest crowd he’s ever played in front of.
It’s going to take more than one home run to forge a career, just as one playoff run with the Broncos wasn’t enough to cement his status as an NFL quarterback.
