BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Far from the warmth of Florida where he became a household name and a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, Tim Tebow made his Double-A debut on Thursday night with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies as snowflakes wafted through the evening air and temperatures hovered in the 30s.
All of the field-level box seats at NYSEG Stadium were sold on the blustery night, and although plenty of seats were empty, Tebow's appearance lured New York Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon north from New York City to take a closer look at the organization's most unusual prospect.
