Occasional NFL quarterback and college football legend Tim Tebow has announced his intention to pursue a baseball career. To that end, he'll be holding a showcase at the end of August, and all 30 teams will be invited.

Tebow is 29 and hasn't played baseball since high school, so that's working against him. On the other hand, he was very good at baseball in high school in a place -- Florida -- where the quality of prep baseball is quite high.
