JACKSONVILLE - The stats bear it out. Tebow has done better in most categories with his opportunity than MJ. Russell Wilson would probably have been the better prospect long term had he chosen baseball, but he didn't. He's doing OK in his chosen profession however.

Look out NY. As predicted, the Mets are scraping the cellar and will be out of contention by September. That can only mean a call-up for Tim Tebow. The icing on the cake would be a MLB HR in his first AB.

Tebow batted ninth as the DH for the Eastern Division in Wednesday's Eastern League all-star game and went 1-for-4 with an opposite-field double. He had a chance to give his team the lead in the seventh inning, but with runners on first and second and one out he popped out to left on the first pitch.
Prior to the game, hundreds of fans waited close to an hour for his autograph. His No. 15 shirt was the only all-star player jersey available for sale at the game.
The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback turned baseball player is hitting .241/.319/.362 in 76 games for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies. He’s smacked five home runs with 33 RBIs.
Tebow has committed just one error in 75 chances in left field.
He’s been on a bit of a tear heading into Wednesday’s game. In his previous 10 games, Tebow is hitting .353 (12-for-34).
