That’s one way to use your head.
Tim Tebow, the celebrity Mets prospect and former Heisman Trophy winner, showed Monday even a mostly successful dual-athlete can commit a massive mid-game blunder when a bomb from Red Sox prospect Josh Ockimey ricocheted off the wall — and bounced off Tebow’s head — for a triple.
In the Binghamton-Portland matchup, the Double-A All-Star made up for the gaffe by going 3-for-4 with two RBIs at the plate, though it’s unlikely to make people forget the ex-NFL quarterback had a baseball bounce off his head.
Judging by the Mets’ major league follies, difficulties in the field may run in the franchise.
