Tim Tebow swung at the first pitch in his first minor-league at-bat — and he hit a home run
New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow made his minor-league baseball debut on Wednesday in an Instructional League game. And in his first at-bat, he hit a home run.
That's right: Tim Tebow, the former Heisman Trophy winner and failed NFL quarterback who hasn't played baseball since high school, swung at the first pitch in his first minor-league baseball game and went yard.
How about that.

Best of all, he really gave 110% effort running out of the batter's box.
