COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Tim Tebow hit a two-run homer in the first at-bat of his minor league baseball debut for the Class A Columbia Fireflies on Thursday night.
Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, drilled a 2-1 pitch off the railing just above the fence in left-center field, where a strong wind had been blowing out all day. Tebow stopped at second base, thinking it was a double, as an umpire twirled his hand to indicate the home run.
<aside class="inline editorial float-r" data-behavior="article_related" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: BentonSans, -apple-system, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; border: 1px solid rgb(220, 221, 223); clear: none; margin: 6px 0px 15px 18px; padding: 15px; width: 282.5px; float: right;">[h=1]EDITOR'S PICKS[/h]
Fans shouted "Te-Bow! Te-Bow!'' after the former University of Florida and NFL quarterback fouled off a pitch.
The chants grew louder as Tebow circled the bases on his homer, pumping his fist as he rounded second base.
It was announced in August that Tebow would pursue a career in baseball after his NFL career fizzled. He was assigned to the New York Mets' Class A team at the end of spring training.
Tebow batted .148 in spring training with eight strikeouts in 27 at-bats. He was the only player in the Mets organization to play in at least eight spring training games without scoring a run.

[h=2]The biggest thing since Michael Jordan? It's Tim Tebow time in the minor leagues[/h]It'll be a debut with shades of Michael Jordan as a devoted crowd -- and accompanying media -- flocks to see a Heisman winner don No. 15 for the Fireflies on Thursday.
Fans shouted "Te-Bow! Te-Bow!'' after the former University of Florida and NFL quarterback fouled off a pitch.
The chants grew louder as Tebow circled the bases on his homer, pumping his fist as he rounded second base.
It was announced in August that Tebow would pursue a career in baseball after his NFL career fizzled. He was assigned to the New York Mets' Class A team at the end of spring training.
Tebow batted .148 in spring training with eight strikeouts in 27 at-bats. He was the only player in the Mets organization to play in at least eight spring training games without scoring a run.

[h=2]After becoming one of the Columbia Fireflies best fan draws, former NFL quarterback and now single-A baseball player Tim Tebow may be in line for a promotion, according to sources.[/h]Tebow’s playing stats have been quite respectable, especially considers he is almost a decade older than many of his teammates.
The 29-year-old former Denver Bronco was signed to a minor league contract by the New York Mets this year and has been playing in South Carolina, achieving a 849 OPS over his last 16 games. Tebow has a .250/.330/.370 slash line with two homers and 11 RBIs in 28 games for Columbia, the New York Post reports.
His work on the diamond puts him in a solid position and the Mets have taken notice. According to sources, there is talk of bumping the player up to the next level in AA ball.
But, there is undoubtedly another reason for this consideration. After all, Tebow has become a major seat-filler for the Fireflies.
Tebow is helping the Fireflies break team attendance records this year as fans scramble to see their new favorite player. In fact, by some estimates, Tebow has booted attendance for the Fireflies by a whopping 92 percent.

</header>PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — As expected, Tim Tebow will begin the season with the Mets’ Double-A affiliate in upstate Binghamton.
Tebow, 30, got the promotion despite hitting .056 (1-for-18 with 11 strikeouts) in major-league spring training. Tebow was slowed by a sprained ankle before being sent to minor-league camp.
Binghamton is in the Eastern League, which includes the Yankees’ Trenton team.

Great bump
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It looks as if Tim Tebow is finally going to be playing for his hometown team. Just not as a quarterback.
hno:
Tebow will play in the NFL. For a long time was the title of this thread. In case you missed it - he didn't.
