This is a big year for Tim Tebow as he continues his quest to become a Major League Baseball player, and Tebow is off to a big start.
The former Heisman winner and current Mets minor leaguer hit a mammoth home run shot on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers at Publix Field.
“I feel like I am seeing the ball pretty well besides my first at-bat of the spring when I was super-aggressive,” Tebow told reporters “After that I feel like I have been seeing it, three walks, so trying to see more pitches and the home run today, really had a chance to work that count and try to see some too. I am just trying to improve a little bit every day.”
The early returns back up Tebow’s claims that he’s seeing the ball better. Tebow has walked twice in his first three games.

ReplyDeleteI care. A lot of us do. Tim Tebow has been maligned and slammed endlessly just because he's openly Christian.
We like to support him. If you don't, that's up to you.
I think there is a little of Tebow in all of us. Sometimes we just do not want to give up until we succeed. It will be interesting to see if he continues to improve to the point that he becomes successful and makes it to the “Big Show”. As far as myself and my family, we are rooting for him, even maybe a little bit for myself.

ReplyDeleteActually, the only reason the Mets have him In their farm system is to increase attendance. He is not in any way a MLB prospect

ReplyDeleteI have a different take on that. He put his Christianity on display, and used it to build his own brand... knowing that it was low hanging fruit and evangelicals would eat it up.
Ya'll lifted him up and used him as evidence for your God when he was on a winning streak... and when it was shown he was not up to par for the big leagues... ya'll had all ready thrown your hat in the ring and built the narrative.. so you had no choice but to keep with the support.
It can't be God responsible for winning, the not God responsible for loosing. Doesn't work that way.
He seems like a decent enough guy.. and wildly more athletically talented that the majority of Americans. He's just not as interesting as the evangelical public makes him out to be. Surely, there are top level athletes that are Christian that could be in the spotlight... but where are the articles about them?
That's right... they didn't make it about THEM. They weren't building a brand. Evangelicals are now trapped, and have to cheer for him... lest they have to acknowledge the narrative they were trying to forward has lots of logical problems.
He's not slammed because he's openly Christian. It's that he's profited from it, and people are critical of the narrative Christians glommed onto his story that is obviously spurious.
