"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Former NFL quarterback Tim&amp;nbsp;Tebow started the first day of his professional&amp;nbsp;baseball career when he arrived at the New York Mets complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tebow will work out Monday morning with his other instructional league teammates.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Mets are sending two-dozen coaches to the camp, which will comprise 29 pitchers, eight catchers, 12 infielders and nine outfielders, according to ESPN.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I've never seen more than seven people at our instructional league before,\" Ian Levin, the Mets' director of minor-league operations said. \"I'm making that up, obviously, but it's typically just family and friends. This will definitely be a different instructional league.''\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He will wear the No. 15 jersey, the same number he wore as a quarterback at Florida and during his time with the Denver Broncos and New York Jets.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tebow is the oldest instructional leaguer at 29. There are two players on the roster that aren't even of voting age.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Mets signed Tebow after he worked out for 28 of the 30 MLB teams during a showcase on Aug. 30. He last played organized baseball in his junior year in high school.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tebow has workouts scheduled through Thursday and will be excused Friday and Saturday so he can re-join his other job as an analyst for the SEC Network.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mets general manager Sandy Alderson has said that Tebow's signing is not a publicity stunt and that the former Heisman Trophy winner was signed based on his baseball talent.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I know this is a tough game,\" Tebow&amp;nbsp;said after signing. \"But I'm looking forward to putting in the work and I felt like this was the best fit.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Scooby Axson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
