Tim Tebow Baseball Circus Features Helicopter, Hustle, Pop-Up Shop, and More Hustle
Tim Tebow inspired cheers, attendance, attention, and a pop-up shop on Monday morning at his Instructional League camp debut. Hundreds of people showed up to see Tebow make throw baseballs and practice taking leads. Seriously. Hundreds. Plus an apparent 70 media members. And a helicopter. And a pop-up shop selling his super popular Mets jersey.

Tim Tebow not only picking up the baseballs on ground, but carrying bags of baseballs to dugout, just like any other #Mets minor leaguer

Finally, after practice Tebow addressed the media, confirming my hunch that he is too big for the NFL.
Tebow on if NFL (Patriots) calls: "No sir. I'm part of the Mets family."
