Tim Tebow suffered ankle injury because of outfield sprinkler head

Many New York Mets fans will tell you that their team can never seem to do anything right, and that apparently includes properly hiding the sprinkler heads in their outfield grass.

According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, Tim Tebow suffered an ankle injury over the weekend at spring training because of a sprinkler head.

Fortunately, the injury is believed to be minor.

Tebow was one of nine minor league players invited to big league spring training this year, and there have been reports that the Mets have very high hopes for him. The last thing they need is their grounds crew stopping the fan favorite from reaching the next level.
