Enter: Tebowmania

Tim Tebow is making a move to Soda City. Yup, starting April 6, Tebow will be starting his professional baseball career with the Columbia Fireflies (think: Columbia’s version of the Greenville Drive.)

While he hasn’t played full-time baseball since 2004 in High School, he’s been participating in the Arizona Fall League and was signed on to the Mets in September (the pro affiliate of the Fireflies.)

The deets:

April 6 | First day of the season, against the Augusta GreenJackets | 7:05 p.m.

Tickets available here.

Columbia plays Greenville June 13 – 15 at Fluor Field. Tickets here.

Straight from Greenville drive: Welp, we know who our @BurgerKing #StrikeoutKing @ #FluorField will be 6/13-15. Guaranteed Whoppers for everyone when @TimTebow K’s 3x! – @GreenvilleDrive
