Tim Tebow, the former professional football player, began his hopeful journey to baseball’s major leagues with a bang, homering in his first professional at-bat at age 29. In a way, the convergence of Tebow and baseball is a match made in heaven. Tebow is a man of deep spirituality, someone who steadfastly demonstrates triumph in failure, an athlete whose name became a verb meaning deference to a supreme power in the midst of professional competition. This spiritually centered persona now finds himself inside the arduous and often nondenominational den of Major League Baseball’s rite of passage: minor league baseball.
