Tebow signed a one-year contract with the Eagles on April 20, 2015.

Tim Tebow on the baseball diamond apparently appeals to a majority of MLB teams. That’s right, folks. The date is set for Tebow to switch from quarterback hopeful to left-handed swinging outfielder in an attempt to do something few outstanding athletes have actually pulled off: Play both professional football and baseball.

Tebow, who gave up playing baseball full-time in 2005 in order to concentrate on college football at the University of Florida, will work out August 30.

Duing his time at Nease High School, Tebow was believed to be a possible Major League Baseball draft pick had he not pursued a career in football.

The news of Tebow’s interest in pursuing a professional baseball career surfaced earlier this month while he has reportedly been training in California and Arizona for the past year.
