Tim Tebow, Heisman Award-winning former football player, signed with the Columbia Fireflies minor league baseball team yesterday. This is his second year *ever* of playing pro baseball. He’ll start with the rest of the team at Spirit Communications Park on opening day, April 6. *Tebows all the way to home plate*
He signed with the New York Mets (the MLB team which the Fireflies feed into) in 2016 after leaving the NFL, where he played for the Broncos, Jets, Patriots and Eagles throughout 2010-15. Before that, SEC fans knew him from his college days at University of Florida, and for his open stance on Christianity.
