That’s the promotion being held tonight by the Fort Myers Miracle–the Class High A minor league affiliate of the Minnessota Twins.
Do you think, like I did, originally, that the story is just a spoof? It isn’t.
I was so intrigued by it that I actually called the team and they confirmed that they are honoring the most holier than thou holy college football quarterback, University of Florida’s Tim Tebow. Festivities will include a free promise ring to everyone that enters the stadium (in honor of Tebow saving himself for marriage), as well as a man named Tim Tebow attempting to walk on water. (Note–It will not be the real Tebow….he wouldn’t show off like that unless the game was on national television) Hey, at least they vetoed the live circumcision. I guess they also nixed the 7th inning Smite ing.
Whether you think it’s sacrilegious or side-splitting, there is no doubt it’s an attention getter.
Miracle fans might want to check the forecast prior to attending tonight’s game to avoid any stray lightning bolts that may hit the owner’s box.
