It looks like Mets instructional league in Florida is the hottest ticket around these days, and you all know why — Tim Tebow!
Baseball insider Jon Heyman is on the scene and called it the “best attended instructional league ever:”

Expectedly, the SEC crowd is absolutely lit and cheering mundane things — like Tebow practicing his leads:

Unfortunately for everyone, reality did hit when Tebow started throwing baseballs:
Tebow just airmailed one from 45 feet. Over the throwing partner and fence. Not sure i've seen that before on this field.
