Welp, it’s official. Tim Tebow is now an actual, real baseball-playing member of the New York Mets organization.
Tebow showed up today rocking a real-life Mets jersey with the number 15 on it, his old football number, at the Fall Instructional League in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Now we get to find out if the $100,000 signing bonus the Mets gave Tebow turns out to be worth it. (Ha! It’s already worth it.)

Oh yeah, you can already own an authentic Tim Tebow jersey for the low price of just $120, by the way. You might want to hurry though since it’s already been announced as a Top-Seller.
