Tim Tebow’s Clumsy Diving Catch Seals Fireflies’ Win

Tim Tebow probably will prove himself to be an effective baseball player before he becomes a graceful one.

The former NFL quarterback made a game-ending catch Thursday in the Columbia Fireflies’ win over the Lexington Legends in Single-A action. Tebow’s grab wasn’t pretty, as he dove, slid and tumbled over himself for one of the more awkward-looking catches you’ll ever see in professional baseball.

Yet Tebow’s teammates didn’t seem to give him much grief over his catch, nor did the fans for whom he signed autographs after the game.

After all, a win is a win.
