Tim Tebow hit a homer on the first day of his stint with the Mets' Class A Advanced team

Tim Tebow's attempt to work his way through the Minors and eventually suit up with the Mets cleared another hurdle this week as he was promoted from Class A Columbia to Class A Advanced St. Lucie.
You may recall that Tebow announced his arrival with the Columbia Fireflies by hitting a home run in his very first at-bat with the club back in early April. With that knowledge, what do you suppose he did on Wednesday in his first official day with the St. Lucie Mets? 
Yes, you're correct. He hit a home run. It didn't come in his first at-bat since the promotion (as it was struck in the second game of a doubleheader), but it was a rather authoritative blast. Check it out atop this post or below, from a different angle: 

By now, we ought to expect dramatic things from Tebow, as he certainly knows how to make headlines. What might he have in store next?
