Tim Tebow wants a World Series more than a Super Bowl

New York Mets prospect Tim Tebow told Sports Illustrated this week a World Series would be more meaningful than winning a Super Bowl.

“I think because of the ups and the downs and just the battle of picking something up that you haven't done in 12 years, I think it would mean more,” Tebow explained.

The Mets signed Tebow last fall, following a tryout for more than a dozen baseball scouts.

The former Heisman Trophy winner played in 19 games for the Mets in the Arizona Fall League, hitting .194.

When Mets players report to spring training camp Feb. 14, Tebow will not be among them. Tebow instead is expected to report to the Mets' minor-league camp in Port St. Lucie, Fla., later in spring.
