Ever heard of Tim Tebow? Sure you have... He played for the Broncos and the Jets, even winning the Heisman Trophy as a talented quarterback. What you may not know is Tebow has batted his way on to the New York Mets.

The Mets saw a potential in Tebow and offered him a minor league contract. Tebow even recieved a 100,000 signing bonus.

It is a blurred line between whether they signed him for publicity, which might I add is not a bad idea, or if the Mets see a real talent in the former football star. Whichever may be the case, this peculiar signing is intriguing both football and baseball fans.

Tebow is set to begin his baseball career September 19 starting as an outfielder. Tebow is around 29 years of age and has not played baseball since high school. If you are bad at math like me, that is 11 years... Lucky for Tebow he will not be too behind considering his extensive years of a professional sports career. Tebow has expressed an enormous excitement to begin his baseball career, starting small, and hoping to grow as a player. Along with his baseball career, Tebow will continue his career as a football analyst.

`As a baseball fan, I am a bit biased but Tebow shows great potential in his oncoming baseball career. Both sports fans will band together as thy watch their quarter back transform into a rookie.
