Tim Tebow, not yet a baseball player, is autographing baseball memorabilia – Sporting News
Tim Tebow has yet to even take the field in a baseball game, but he’s already earning big money in the sport.
ESPN reported Sunday that the former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback is signing baseball bats and balls. If you want one signed, it will cost $175 for a bat, and $125 for a ball. They’re available through TD Autographs.

The 29-year-old Tebow, of course, announced last week he wanted to try his hand at a baseball career, and he plans to hold a workout for Major League Baseball teams later this month. But those autograph prices seem a bit extreme for a player who is at best a longshot to make the majors. A quick check on eBay Sunday afternoon showed a bat signed by Willie Mays available for $169.99, and a bat from fellow Hall of Famer Hank Aaron going for $189.99.
Maybe the novelty of having Tebow’s autograph on a ball or bat will make it a rarity. Personally, we’ll take a Mays or Aaron bat.
