Angels Nearly Drafted Tim Tebow

The Angels were interested in drafting Tim Tebow to play baseball several years ago.
"We wanted to draft him," Tom Kotchman remembered, "but he never sent back his information card. Either it never got to him, or … It's Tim Tebow. Who knows if it got to him, and if it did we just never got it back. Otherwise we were going to take him."
Kotchman, a Florida area scout for the Red Sox, previously worked for the Angels.
Seven years later, Tebow has signed with the New England Patriots to play quarterback.
