PORT ST. LUCIE — Tim Tebow got robbed twice Sunday.
First, there was the diving catch Tebow thought he had made in foul territory during the first inning at First Data Field. But when the former Heisman Trophy winner looked in his glove, the ball was missing.
“I totally had it,” Tebow said after the Mets’ 10-1 exhibition loss to the Astros. “Somehow my tumbling of hitting whatever I hit, the bleachers/chairs, it came out. I looked in my glove first and it wasn’t there. I paid the price, so you want to come away with the catch.
