Tebow, recently signed by the New York Mets to a minor league contract, went 0 for 3 and also ran into an outfield wall chasing a flyball for the Scottsdale Scorpions.
Azcentral reported Tebow was signing autographs after the game when a man fell ill in the stands. Pictures showed Tebowput his hand on the fan's leg, and azcentral said the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner at Florida prayed and talked to the man about Georgia football.
