LAKEWOOD, N.J. — While it was Mother’s Day around the world and Derek Jeter Day in The Bronx, it was Tim Tebow Day at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, N.J., on Sunday.
Countless fans in the crowd of 6,468 showed up wearing his Jets No. 15 jersey or his Broncos No. 15 jersey, and there were even a few wearing his No. 15 jersey with the Florida Gators.
“I think it’s cool that he can play two professional sports,” said Jack Waddleton of Point Pleasant, N.J., who wore a replica of Tebow’s white No. 15 Gators jersey to the ball park.
