Attention is currency.

If you're wondering how Kylie Jenner can (supposedly) be worth $900 million, look at this nonsense.

A mediocre AA ballplayer goes 1-for-4, and that warrants a newspaper article?:

"Somehow, Tim Tebow keeps finding a way to counter his critics by doing something unexpected."

I'm ready to be wowed.


"The former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback was named to the Class AA Eastern League All-Star team despite a rather unremarkable .270 batting average, five home runs and 33 RBI this season for the Binghamton (N.Y.) Rumble Ponies, a New York Mets affiliate."


Unremarkable, but that doesn't stop me from remarking.


"Tebow, 30, was in the East squad's starting lineup Wednesday night, batting ninth as the designated hitter. In his first at-bat against West starting pitcher Beau Burrows, Tebow hit an opposite-field double."

Waiting to be wowed.


"Tebow grounded out to shortstop in the fifth inning, flied out to left field in the seventh and, representing the go-ahead run in the bottom of the ninth, struck out swinging."


Wow!


"The East pushed a run across in the ninth and the game ended in a 4-4 tie."


WOW!
