-- Unlike the other New York Mets minor leaguers who showed up at spring training Monday, Tim Tebow drew a crowd in the parking lot, sat down for a 25-minute news conference and could have walked a few doors down to the team store at First Data Field and purchased his own jersey for $120. Soon, though, the fan support and his success as a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback are going to do him scant good trying to hit a curveball. He's aware of that. "I don't think it's a bigger challenge than I thought. Obviously, it's a big challenge, right?" Tebow said. "You're picking up a sport after 12 years of not playing it, but I understood it. I think part of the challenge in it being so hard is part of why it's something I'm enjoying and loving. It's a hard game. It's not an easy thing to do. Hitting a baseball is one of the hardest things in sports, but I'm enjoying it very much." Read more http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/18780909/not-going-worry-people-thinking
I truly hope he makes it to the big show. He tries hard at everything he attempts. I would like to see a one knee prayer after a base hit.
