Tim Tebow: The Man, The Legend, The Future MLB Star?
Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tim Tebow was in the news today when it became known he hopes to make another comeback attempt. This time, on the baseball diamond and not the gridiron.
Tebow plans to hold a workout to allow every MLB team to see his skills.
But the Reading Fightins have already made their decision. They"re all set in the outfield and sent the below tweet.
They"re not wrong. The Fightins have been red hot this season.Reading has been dominant all season, led by the home run prowess of outfielder Dylan Cozens (32 HR, 103 RBIs) and first baseman Rhys Hoskins (34 and 101). Catcher Jorge Alfaro has also been a steady force in the three-hole for the team with the best record in all of professional baseball.
Tebow will probably need to say his prayers if he wants any shot of making that squad.
We already know Philadelphians love throwing things, so why not choose something a bit sharper?
How about some axes.
That"s the idea behindEast Kensington"s Urban Axes.
"Its like darts, only bigger and more satisfying,"says Krista Poll, one of the owners of the new joint.
We sent a camera crew over to Urban Axes to get a firsthand look at what throwing axes is like and we"re not going to lie, throwing axes is as enjoyable as expected.
They"re taking group bookings with dates starting on September 15th and later. Go throw some things. Take out some of that aggression. It will feel good.
More info on their website here.
Chase Utley hit 233 career home runs for the Philadelphia Phillies. On Monday night he hit his first against them.
The Phils are out on the west coast this week for an emotional reunion with their legendary second baseman before Chase and his new squad come back to Philadelphia next week to give fans an emotional reunion with a franchise favorite.
But just because Chase is so beloved in Philly doesn"t mean he won"t hurt us like he did last night.
Utley reminded us of that sweet, short swing last night when he took a Zach Efflin fastball down the line for a home run.
So many mixed emotions. Don"t really know how to feel. Don"t like it one bit.
But, I guess, the Phils aren"t going anywhere this season so maybe we root for Chase to get one more World (bleeping) Championship.
Would like to see Efflin get his stuff together though. More on the ugly loss and Efflin"s struggles here.
Tim Teeball?
Unable to find regular work playing the sport he dedicated his life to excel at (football), former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tim Tebow is going to give a different sport a try: baseball.
The Tebow baseball news comes from ESPN"s Adam Schefter who points out that despite not having played organized baseball in over a decade, Tebow has been trying to get back into the baseball thing for months and plans to hold a workout for MLB teams later this month.
For almost the past year, Tebow has been training in Arizona and Los Angeles to hone his play as a professional batter and outfielder in a sport he has not played on a full-time basis since he was in high school in 2005.
Tebow was an All-State baseball player in Florida and hit .494 as a junior, helping Nease High School reach the final four of the Florida state playoffs.
Tebow"s camp hopes that all 30 MLB teams will come to watch him work out. Whether or not that will actually happen remains to be seen.
Obviously, Tebow should end up playing for the Angels.
