Tebow, 29, is likely the oldest player populating instructional league games in Florida, and the 255-pound outfielder did not waste time showing he’d like to advance with some dispatch through the <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/New York Mets" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: help; z-index: 9000; border-bottom-style: dashed !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(182, 20, 0) !important; background: inherit !important;">New York Mets</culink> system, hammering a pitch just to the left of dead center field in <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Port St. Lucie, Florida" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: help; z-index: 9000; border-bottom-style: dashed !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(182, 20, 0) !important; background: inherit !important;">Port St. Lucie</culink>, Fla.

why would he do that?

 

[rickardodry]

He wouldn't
too much fucking tebow hate

Just pure humorous speculation, could have legit happened as well. But there's a thought that may be both sides were in collusion, since this was just a meaningless instructional league game (is this even more meaningless than NBA Summer League games?), yet could still cause huge press if Tebow did something of note.

U think hitting it over the fence is like making a break away lay up my man?
