PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — An attendance record. A hitting streak. And such as it was, even a winning streak.
By any measure, Tim Tebow had a solid week.
Tebow’s promotion to the high-A St. Lucie Mets of the Florida State League seems to be agreeing with him. The Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback had hits in 11 of his 13 games since being promoted to St. Lucie, including each of his last eight games — exactly one hit in each. Before now, his previous long hitting streak was five games.
The Mets even won back-to-back games for the first time since he joined the club.
