Tebow hits St Lucie, the next step of his baseball journey

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) Tim Tebow knows he can still improve on everything.

Given his numbers, that’s obvious.

If he’s the world’s most popular minor league .220 hitter, that’s just fine with the new left fielder for the St. Lucie Mets. Called up to the New York Mets’ advanced Class A affiliate in the Florida State League earlier this week, Tebow was batting eighth for his debut with his new club Tuesday – and is expected to be an everyday player for however long he’s with the club.

”It’s a scary place to get caught up in, the `where’s this going to lead,’ `what’s going to happen to my future,’ `what is the next day,”’ Tebow said before the game against the Palm Beach Cardinals.
