The Columbia Fireflies hosted a Fan Fest on Sunday where fans were able to watch the team go through a scheduled workout at Spirit Communications Park and then afterward were able to meet the players.
Fans were also able to get one item autographed per each player, as well as taking photos with the players. This included one of the newest additions to the Fireflies team, Tim Tebow.
Tebow is a former Heisman Trophy winner, who also won two BCS championships playing football for the Florida Gators. He then had a five-year stint in the NFL where he played in 35 games. Tebow is now pursuing a baseball career, after a brief period during which he was a commentator for the SEC Network.
The Fireflies begin play Thursday, as they take on the Augusta GreenJackets at 7:05 p.m. in Spirit Communications Park for their season opener.
