NEW YORK (CBS Sports) – Mets farmhand Tim Tebow is easily the most famous player in Double-A, and now he’s an All-Star.
It was announced Friday that Tebow had made the All-Star Game for the Eastern League, which is one of three Double-A leagues, along with the Southern League and the Texas League. Tebow is currently playing for the Bimghamton Rumble Ponies (Mets affiliate).
Tebow’s overall line isn’t overwhelming. He’s hitting .261/.335/.398 with the league average being .251/.325/.389. So he’s slightly above average on the season. He has, however, been on fire of late.
