Tim Tebow hit a spring training home run off an MLB reliever

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBBBBBBBBBBOWWWWWWWWWW!
That’s right, Tim Tebow is still a member of the New York Mets organization, and the former NFL quarterback did something on Tuesday that he’s never done while in big league camp with the franchise: he recorded an extra-base hit, a two-run homer off Detroit Tigers reliever Alex Wilson.
