Tim Tebow‘s pro baseball debut was no joke — the pitchers he was facing are the real deal and the fact he smacked a HR is very impressive … so says Cleveland Indians outfielder Marlon Byrd.
FYI, Byrd has been in the big leagues since 2002 and knows all about the talent in the instructional league — where Tebow hit a home run in his first at-bat earlier this week.
Byrd explains exactly why people need to show Tebow a little more respect for his first outing — and says he thinks the NY Mets prospect has a real shot at getting to the big show.
