ANALYSIS/OPINION:
PORT ST. LUCIE, FLA. – It was the kind of novelty act you’ll see from time to time in spring training baseball – one that has star power, even if those stars are crossed.
It was Max Scherzer vs. Tim Tebow – power vs. pious.
Score another one for the Lions.
The home New York Mets crowd at First Data Field woke up from its sun-induced coma early in Friday afternoon’s exhibition contest against the Washington Nationals when, in the bottom of the second inning, the first batter to face Scherzer was Tebow – he of the 430 minor league at bats he had last year – the first organized baseball he competed in since high school.
