Mets: Tim Tebow deserves to be an All-Star for non-baseball reasons

You have may have heard, New York Mets farmhand Tim Tebow will play in this year’s Eastern League All-Star Game. You may also know Tebow isn’t like most Double-A players. He’s a larger than life figure who isn’t quite a prospect yet seems to have the ability to grab our attention with each at-bat.

We know Tebow from his glorious college football days and his sometimes miraculous NFL games. As a professional baseball player, we’re seeing a different side of Tebow. We’re seeing his humanitarian side come out more.

Tebow’s numbers don’t jump out as All-Star worthy.
