Tim Tebow made his Grapefruit League debut today for the Mets against the Red Sox in less than glorious fashion — he warmed up for his first at-bat in the wrong on deck circle.
Rick Porcello thought Tebow was a ball boy when he watched him warm up in the wrong on-deck circle. Porcello was unfazed by it.
Tebow played DH in a split squad game with Boston, and went 0-for-3 in four at bats. First, against Porcello, he was called out on strikes on four pitches. Then he grounded into a double play that drove in a run.
