You’re not going to believe this but fake New York Mets outfield prospect Tim Tebow has been on a home run drought since April 9. Crazy right? It’s almost like the Mets shouldn’t consider giving him a promotion to AA after the All-Star break.
Or maybe they should, because Baseball Jesus gave the fans what they wanted today by smashing an opposite field dong off Dylan Prohoroff:

Home run No. 3 was a historic one for Tim, as he matched NBA Hall of Famer/fellow bad baseball player Michael Jordan’s minor league total. That may seem like a BS stat, but is it really considering every major outlet rushed to point it out?
