Tebow to try baseball - 20 MLB teams to attend workout

[Captain Sasquatch]

And I thought the fact that I was considering playing in a local Sunday baseball league in Tampa a mere 13 years after the last time I played was a wild idea.

As long as they don't mess with his throwing motion he'd be fine. I seem to recall that being a problem in that other sport he tried to play.

As the late Stuart Scott would say "booyah", whatever that means. ;)

Good luck to Tim I guess. But I wish he was doing more important things where his voice could have an impact.

 

[Gator Fever]

You never know but I doubt this works out after being away from baseball for that many years. It would be a stretch to even start for a single A team I would think.

 

[GatorJB]

Well I hope it works out for him, but at his age he's not going to have a very long career in the majors if he makes it. He's got a good job in broadcasting so from our perspective this seems almost pointless. But he wants to do what he loves, and he loves playing sports, not just talking about them.

Interesting...

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Tebow should be AD.

 

[PhD Gator]

I'm hoping the Dodgers sign him and he ends up in AA. Would love to go see him play here in Tulsa.

 

[Chomper]

Many things can be said about Tim Tebow, but one thing for sure is that he is not afraid to fail.

 

[rogdochar]

Right now he's got the tryouts on hold 'til he finishes writing his RNC speech.

Stay woke.

I played basketball back in the day. Think I'm gonna invite all the NBA teams to my driveway to witness my skills and then I'll have to decide which offer to take.

Beef up 50 more pounds, start staying out all hours, drink like a fish, chain smoke cigars and he'll
be another Babe Ruth.

I just realized something, do they let guys who've never hit a "home run" play baseball?

Well, the extra pent up energy could possibly help his batting average....

Even Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball.

Stay woke.

I absolutely trust Gary Sheffield's judgment, because he was awesome, but a lot of people look great hitting in the cage. Put him out there against Clayton Kershaw and see what happens.

Well...that (Kershaw) you kind of work your way up to over time.
I would like to see how he does against AA and AAA arm talent.

Is he even fast enough to play in the outfield? Don't know that one.

 

[G8trwood]

Seemed it would have neen easier to play TE a few years ago....but I wish him well in his endeavors.

 

[Gatorbreath]

I wish him luck, but I think this is a bit desperate. He was a good player in HS, but that is a lot different than the major leagues. He should accept that he isn't a professional athlete and focus on his TV and charity work... IMO

This.

Perfectly stated. Dude has a lot of great things he can still accomplish.

And I believe he'll accomplish those great things... but an athlete of his caliber with his desire to play...
You gotta let him try at least, just so he can finally say to himself - "Ok...now I know for sure - time to move on".
