Meanwhile, in MLB news ....Timmy Tebow hangs up his spikes

New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow retiring from pro baseball

17 Feb 2002

Tim Tebow is retiring from baseball after five years as a minor leaguer with the New York Mets.

The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner returned to baseball in 2016 for the first time since his junior year of high school and reached Triple-A, encouraged by then-general manager and current team president Sandy Alderson.

Tebow, who works for ESPN's SEC Network as a football analyst during the offseason, played 77 games at baseball's highest minor league level in 2019, batting .163 with four home runs. He finishes his career with a .223 average over 287 games.

"I want to thank the Mets, Alderson, the fans and all my teammates for the chance to be a part of such a great organization," Tebow said in a statement released by the Mets on Wednesday. "I loved every minute of the journey, but at this time I feel called in other directions.

Even though my team got rid of several good players and will probably stink this year.

I’m kinda pissed about it. But I’m anxiously waiting for pre-season in a week and a half.

We're going to lose 100 easy. Open up with 12 against the Dodgers, Padres, and Diamondbacks. Looking at 2-10 if we catch some breaks.

the price for the MLB package with Direct TV. But overall, it's worth it.

I buy the package for $130 a season and can stream it on my phone, iPad, laptop and on the tv via a Roku stick. You probably know about it already but I thought I’d mention it. It’s a bargain!

the streaming possibilities out there since Direct TV is getting too expensive. Our challenge is to find an viable and economical streaming service for some specific international channels.

I had Dish and then Direct...they were insanely expensive. I went with Sling tv via Roku...and now I have Hulu through the Roku. I like Sling a little better but my kiddo and his dad like Hulu better so here we are. I don’t know what international channels you’re looking for...the Roku has a gazillion apps/channels so maybe you’ll find what you want there but there are other streaming sticks out there too. I hope you can save a little money.

Been watching "classics" on the local Baseball channel. Can't wait for the season to begin. Hoping to be able to take in a couple of games in person.
