“Atta boy”, one of his new teammates shouted from behind the batting cage.
On Tuesday, Tebow – now playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League – came to the aid of a man who had fallen ill.
His on field performance Tuesday wasn’t almost as memorable – the Republic reports that the former QB went hitless in three at-bats and crashed into an outfield wall while chasing down a foul ball.
Nonetheless, doesn’t this sound like the type of game that would cause people to criticize Tebow if his name were Yasiel Puig? “I know it’s going to be a process”.
The 2007 Heisman Trophy victor at Florida also talked to the man about Georgia football, azcentral said.
Yes, he once led the Denver Broncos to a miraculous playoff victory, but he bounced around the league after that and has been out of the NFL for years now.
As seen in the below video from the Twitter account named Daniel Kellybook, Tebow stands over the man, who still appears dazed and confused after coming out of the seizure.
Tweeted another fan, “This is Why I’ll always say Tim tebow is one of a kind!” The Arizona Fall League is dark on Sundays.
“You’re a Bulldog? You’re kidding me, ” Tebow joked with Brandon. “But also to enjoy it”. He has not played competitive baseball since his junior year of high school in 2005.
The former Heisman Trophy victor stayed with the man until paramedics arrived to conclude a busy debut in the fall league, in which he finished 0-for-3.
When Tebow hopped on a golf cart for a short trip to a clubhouse behind the left-field wall, amazed fans yelled praise. He did manage to hit the ball to the right-side, allowing Angels No. 3 prospect Taylor Ward to advance to third base.
The Scorpions defeated the Glendale Desert Dogs 9-6. The former National Football League quarterback played five innings in left field for the Scottsdale Scorpions, a team that features top prospects from both the Mets and Yankees and is managed by Mets first-base coach Tom Goodwin. He will play for the Scorpions during the week and continue to work for the SEC Network on the weekends.
