Tim Tebow, the former football player and current outfielder in the New York Mets organization, will represent the Philippines in the upcoming World Baseball Classic (WBC) qualifiers.
The flamboyant athlete called the opportunity a “really cool thing” in a chat with MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo.
The former Heisman trophy winner has played for the Mets for four seasons now, all in the minor leagues. He is currently in spring training camp, and dreams of playing in the majors one day.
When the Philippines invited him, he ran it by general manager Brodie Van Wagenen and manager Luis Rojas.
