At the beginning of 2018, I fully expected the season to have some sort of a Tim Tebow weekend in September. Even if the New York Mets were competing, the roster expansion would allow an opportunity to promote Tebow to the big leagues and sell a few extra tickets.
Things didn’t work out this way as Tebow suffered a season-ending injury while playing in Double-A. The Mets did get their big sale weekend thanks to David Wright’s retirement. This year, they may need to again revisit the idea of putting Tebow in a late September starting lineup.
