SPORTS
is not a quitter. I think he will do a world of
good and bring other people to Port St. Lucie.
They sold a ton of T-shirts. I think he will be
good for the economy.”
“It’s great for St. Lucie West and it keeps us
on the map with great exposure,” said Walter
Pietrzak, owner of the West End Grill for the
past nine years. “With the Mets in the World
Series last year, it will be hard to top that. But
he (Tebow) is good for sports and for business.
I wish him all the luck in the world. He is a
straight-up guy.”
At the opening day news conference, Tebow
said he liked what little he had seen of Port St.
Lucie, but avoided the question of whether he
would move here.
“I will be here as much as I have to be for
the Mets,” Tebow said. “It’s exciting to be on a
team. For me, success will be giving everything
I have. This is a dream for me and it is a blessing
to have the opportunity. I am not afraid to
fail or fall flat on my face. I want to be a role
model to kids to do what is in your heart.”
And Treasure Coast children may soon have
the opportunity to take him up on that.
Tebow said that if any football teams, including
the New England Patriots, tries to sign him,
he will tell them he is under contract with the
Mets. He will miss one day a week of practice
to fulfill his prior commitment as an announcer
for ESPN TV. E

During his first day
at Tradition Field,
Tebow left his belt
in the locker room.
After retrieving it,
he found his groove
as he belted a
dozen slow pitches
into the outfield
fence at a practice
field modeled after
the old Shea Stadium
in New York.
At age 29, Tebow is
hoping to play for
the Mets in 2017.
