TRENTON, N.J. -- It's not often that a member of the Eastern League All-Star team holds his own news conference prior to the game, but then again, Tim Tebow isn't your ordinary Minor League player.
The former Heisman Trophy winner was at Arm & Hammer Park Wednesday for the Double-A league's Midsummer Classic, starting in the No. 9 spot of the Eastern Division lineup as its designated hitter.
The moment Tebow stepped off the bus Wednesday afternoon, the mob that descended upon him was reminiscent of the crowds that followed Michael Jordan during his foray into pro baseball.
