I see that the Mets have signed Tim Tebow to a minor league deal.  Be prepared to enter 42,459 Tim Tebow baseball cards into the database.......

Hey best of luck to the man.  Love him or hate him, he sure does have a drive to compete.

If it hasn't been done already, I'm sure Topps Now will have something out immediately...sigh.

Oh, don't exaggerate. He'll probably only get 25,000 or so cards right off. :`)

I always thought he was a good quarterback, but he was never given a chance. He was only used as back-up and for "wild horse" and "wildcat" formations.  IMHO, as a 29-year-old who hasn't played baseball since high school, I don't see him getting very far in baseball. But, I hope he proves me wrong.

...ticket sales gimmick.  The last guy to do this also played for the Mets for 25 games in 1992.  Remember D.J. Dozier?

Maybe for next season, he'll make it as far up the minor league chain as the Brooklyn Cyclones (Class A - NYPL), and I'll get to see him play at the stadium right here (HV Renegades). That would be fun.

I'm rather neutral on Tebow. I think he's probably a nice guy and quite the athlete, but like C2C said, he never got a fair chance to play in the NFL. His record as a QB is 8-6. 7-4 in one season. Why doesn't someone with that kind of winning percentage get more chances? I just don't know.

Should be fun to see what happens with his baseball career.

I actually think part of the "not many chances" is that many teams did not want to deal with the impending media circus having him around would cause.

I think Denver's defense deservedly get the credit for most of those wins. Still, I agree that it is surprising he didn't get more of a chance with as many bad quarterback situations as there are in the NFL. May have had more chances in Denver if Manning had signed elsewhere.I can only imagine he never looked very good in the workouts / training camps / practices after his stay in Denver.

I hope he does well in baseball. What do the Mets have to lose in signing him? It is unlikely he gets very far but if he does it is a great story. Also gets them mentioned a lot more this time of year.

I always remember the "media circus" demeaning his public displays of faith (religion).
