Baseball has been tough on Tim Tebow and the KC Royals’ Bubba Starling.

The athletic lives of KC Royals outfielder Bubba Starling and Tim Tebow, late of the New York Mets, are similar. Both were gifted quarterbacks: Tebow won the Heisman Trophy with Florida, while Starling, a prep star, walked away from a scholarship to call signals at Nebraska and signed with the Royals. Both have struggled to succeed in the world of professional baseball.

Now, as one leaves the game, departure may not be far away for the other.
