The broken right hamate bone that ended his season early didn’t keep Tim Tebow down for long. Predictably, the eternally-optimistic Mets’ minor leaguer and former Heisman Trophy winner looked at the setback as a positive.
“In every setback, there’s a comeback,” he said in a video released by his charity, the Tim Tebow Foundation. “Our God is a God of comebacks. There’s disappointing things that happen, and of course that was disappointing for me. But at the same time, comebacks are pretty awesome, and I can’t wait for this one.”
The 31-year-old Tebow, who signed with the Mets as a free agent in September of 2016, was having a strong season, earning respect after his endeavor into baseball was considered a gimmicky novelty act.
