LOS ANGELES -- Tim Tebow began indulging his baseball fantasy as a do-it-yourselfer. For the better part of a year, between his TV work for ESPN and a short-lived comeback attempt with the Philadelphia Eagles, Tebow puttered around on the side with the vague notion that a former Heisman Trophy winner might be able to reinvent himself as a professional outfielder at age 29.
When the thoughts in his head morphed into something closer to an obsession, it was time to seek professional help.
On Memorial Day weekend, former big league catcher Chad Moeller received a call from agent Brodie Van Wagenen with a proposition: Tebow was serious about playing baseball and needed help putting his dream in motion.
