Red Sox Pitcher Rick Porcello Thought Tim Tebow Was The Ball Boy

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.
