Tim Tebow made his debut with the Class AA Binghamton Rumble Ponies a memorable one, smashing a three-run homer on the first pitch he saw Thursday night, the Binghamton Press reported.
The two-out homer by the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner gave the Rumble Ponies a 5-0 lead in the first inning of the team’s season opener and came off Portland Sea Dogs pitcher Teddy Stankiewicz.
Tebow also homered in his first at-bat when he played for the Low-A Columbia Firefly in 2017.
Thursday night, Tebow batted seventh for Binghamton, a minor-league affiliate for the New York Mets. He also played left field, the Press reported.
The Rumble Ponies won the game, 6-0.
