Tebow's errant throw accidentally hits a man right in the nuts

Tim Tebow brought new meaning to the phrase “play ball” during Tuesday night’s outing against the Lakewood Blue Claws.

The God-fearing athlete — who is now playing for the Mets’ Single-A team, the Columbia Fireflies — threw a baseball that accidentally hit a New Jersey man right in the family jewels.

“They were warming up and throwing in front us, and I wasn’t paying attention,” said Doug Brustman, who brought his 13-year-old daughter to see her idol play.

Brustman had bought tickets as soon as they went on sale and managed to snag seats in the first row behind the visitor’s dugout at FirstEnergy Park.

But the dream location turned into a painful encounter when the former NFL quarterback overthrew a ball to a teammate. It zoomed right underneath the railing — and found its landing pad on Brustman’s nether regions.

“I hear this guy behind me yell, ‘Watch out,’” said Brustman. “And as he’s yelling, the ball comes right through the railing and hits me right in the nuts. It was a direct hit.”

To add insult to injury, Brustman, who attended the University of Tennessee — Florida’s SEC rival — was wearing a Vol’s hat.

“I said, ‘I think you saw my hat and beaned me with the ball.’ He looked at my hat, laughed and fist-bumped me.”
