Though Tim Tebow is likely the most popular Minor League Baseball player in history, to some teams, he’s the exact opposite.
Teams have objected to Tebow hopping into their sport without due diligence, and have let that be known by trolling him during games they play against him. Teams have held promotions that offered fans rewards based on how many times he strikes out and now the Charleston RiverDogs have upped the ante, taunting the Fireflies Outfielder relentlessly throughout their game versus Tebow Saturday night.
The RiverDogs announced every Fireflies player up-to-bat other than Tebow as “Not Tim Tebow” on the scoreboard.
We’re not sure who IS batting, but we’re relatively sure it’s not @TimTebow. @MiLBPromos pic.twitter.com/EJIk2XfjdZ

Yes, that is Tim Tebow with a baseball bat in his hands. Now we believe it. pic.twitter.com/rp08XcOfWx

They also referred to Tebow accidentally letting go of his bat during a swing as a fumble.

Even the team’s mascot mocked Tebow’s infamous bible verse eyeblack.
