Last week, I asked Cubs outfielder Matt Szczur what he thought about Tim Tebow professing interest in playing baseball.
“Uh, I don’t know what to think about it,” said Szczur, who played a little wildcat quarterback himself in his college days.
It was a nice way of saying, “Good luck dude.”
Then again, Jim Hendry still works in baseball. Give Hendry a DeLorean and some plutonium and he’ll convince a younger Tebow to give up football. Next thing you know, we’ll be talking about his MVP status.
Szczur, a star wide receiver at Villanova, was part of Hendry’s experiment to draft better wide receivers than the Bears.
