The sports fan in me says there's no way. Tim Tebow hasn't played baseball since high school, and that was 11 years ago. The guy is a very impressive physical/athletic specimen, but the skill and timing required to hit a ball coming at you at 97 miles per hour is not something you can just put aside for more than a decade and then pick up again because you're big and strong. That's what the sports fan in me says. I very much appreciate Tebow's commitment to his faith and his willingness to speak of it despite the mockery of the prevailing culture. That made him a positive asset to the NFL during his brief career there. I somewhat lament that Christian football fans can't get past the idea that Tebow is some sort of superstar who's just being blackballed because of his faith. The NFL is not exactly a Christian institution - not when it turns the entire crowd at the Super Bowl into a gay love rainbow - but if you can play quarterback well, some team is going to want you.
