The Boston Red Sox and New York Mets square off in spring training Wednesday, and all anyone can seem to talk about is a guy who’s never played in the big leagues: Tim Tebow.
The former NFL quarterback is making his spring training debut in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and there’s quite a bit of fanfare surrounding the game despite the fact that the regular season still is a month away. Still, it should be interesting to see what happens when Tebow faces reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello.
Wednesday’s contest is a split-squad game for the Mets. Here are the lineups.
