On his second day in instructional league camp, Tim Tebow had
the No. 1-selling jersey on MLB.com.
The uniform top, with T-E-B-O-W stitched on the back above the
No. 15, is available from Majestic, which signed Tebow to a
separate marketing deal when the New York Mets agreed to a
$100,000 minor-league deal with the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner.
A similar T-shirt, made to look like a jersey with name and
number on the back, was second only to the Chicago Cubs National
League Central champions T-shirt in MLB.com sales.
Cubs MVP candidate Kris Bryant is second in jersey sales, per
MLB.com.
