Tim Tebow made his formal minor league debut as a New York Mets farmhand on Thursday, suiting up for the Columbia Fireflies of the low-A South Atlantic League.
And lo, did the Timbino homer.
Stunningly, the former Florida quarterback’s minor feat was greeted with equal parts amazement, appreciation, and derision.

Tebow homered off Domenic Mazza, who was drafted in the 22nd round by the Giants in 2015.
