Good for Tim and the team.
Tebow is 21 for 86 (.244) with 2 HR. Not horrible (bearing in mind that he’s 30 facing guys who are 20), and, more importantly, showing the improvement necessary at the plate to keep interest in him. Hasn’t shown good defensive OF instincts, though he is working hard at it.
He's just an All-American Christian good guy. A real role model for kids.
Will Tebow ever make it to the majors? Who knows, but he's definitely having a positive effect on his team and in each stadium he's playing in..........And that's all that really matters.
Where I live here in S.E. Michigan, Jimmy Johns helped build a stadium that is hosting the United Shore Baseball League, which is only made up of 4 teams and these kids are primarily ex college players who never made it to the minors.
Last year was their first season and already a few of the kids were signed to minor league contracts. Friends who have attended games absolutely loved it. Good baseball, family oriented, and cheap tickets....
I just received a flier in my mailbox yesterday - $58 Family Fun Pack which includes the following:
4 Box Seats
4 Hot Dogs
4 Soft Drinks
and Free Parking...........Can't beat that.
Just shows he would have put butts in the seats if he hadn’t been boycotted in the NFL. Does anyone really think the Browns, Bears, Jags, or Fags would have done any worse last year with TeBow as QB than they did with their ‘pro quality’ player leading the team?
Of course, he didn’t bring to the league what a Sams or a Colon did.
When I worked Summers near Asheville, we would regularly watch the Asheville Tourists play. For a while it was the Asheville Orioles then back to Tourists.
I remember when Denny McClain pitched for the Birmingham A’s and they came to town. Stands were not packed but were nearly full.
I am a Rome, Ga. Person who is now living in Denver. Tim was a great college style QB. At Florida, the coach tried to install a pro-style system and Tim could not cope with it. At Denver, Tim was a deer in the headlights QB who could not cope with the pro-style offence. Tim’s so called success was due to the Broncos defense and various mistakes by the other teams.
Also, there was a safety named Mr Dawkins who was a preacher and he kept telling the team mates to keep the faith and keep trying. Tim’s college style of play led to bruised ribs. As for Rome, Ga. The high school won the state 5A championship this past year. The locals there try to think of ways to bring excitement to the community. Sometimes the locals just get bored. Let’s go see Tim. An event. Something to do.
