Mets: Tim Tebow will need to work his magic for Team Philippines in the WBC qualifiers

Next month, Tim Tebow will represent the Philippines in the World Baseball Classic qualifiers. It’s a story getting plenty of attention. After all, Tebow is one of the most electrifying men in sports even if he is a 32-year-old New York Mets minor leaguer.

Amazingly, Tebow and I have a lot in common. We share a first name, we were born a few weeks apart, and we both have a deep connection to the Philippines.

My wife is from the Philippines—the country where Tebow was born when his parents were over there as missionaries.
