Tim Tebow’s minor league baseball career isn’t a day old, and fans are already going nuts about it.

Tebow’s instructional league stint with the New York Mets begins Monday, and people are already buying his Mets jersey, which has Tebow’s familiar No. 15 right on the back.

And according to Jon Santucci, Tebow’s jersey is already third among the Mets jersey sales on Fanatics, behind only pitcher Noah Syndergaard and custom-name jerseys.

The former Heisman trophy winner and NFL quarterback is scheduled to play five games in the next three weeks. Tebow signed a $100,000 deal with the Mets on Sept. 8.
