Poor Tim Tebow. He's actually getting noticed on the baseball diamond for the Single A Columbia Fireflies, so much so that the New York Mets have considered promoting him to a tougher level of baseball.
But his star power still emanates from his time on the football field, — first as a college star with Florida, and then a short-lived pro career in Denver and with the New York Jets — and the Charleston River Dogs wouldn't let him forget one of his more infamous moments.
RELATED: In his first pro at bat, Tim Tebow crushed a home run.
When Columbia hitters were up, Charleston posted graphic behind each player's picture that looked like this:
SEC fans will know what this is. As time wound down in the 2009 SEC Championship Game, the camera caught a distraught and emotional Tebow as his Florida Gators were about to lose to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Charleston picked the perfect moment to pull this out and do a little trolling.
Tebow, soon to turn 30, is in his first season of pro baseball at is slashing .224/.319/.338 with three home runs and 21 RBI. He generated excitement when, in his first professional at bat, he hit a home run, and then went on a 16-game tear during which he had an .859 OPS (on base plus slugging percentage).
Baseball is not a game for the weak of heart — especially when the trolls are out.
