Mets minor leaguer Tim Tebow went 0-for-3 in Tuesday’s Arizona Fall League game, but that’ll be forgotten. According to Kari Van Horn of ABC 15 Arizona, a fan had a seizure while Tebow was signing autographs after the game. Tebow put his hand on the man and said a prayer, and the man started breathing again.

Van Horn says her station will air a video of it. She added, “I just witnessed a MIRACLE.” She then retweeted this picture of Tebow someone else took:

Not to rain on anybody’s parade, but there’s an explanation for this that doesn’t involve Tebow being a miracle worker. It was likely coincidental, with Van Horn remembering and/or reporting details selectively to fit her view of Tebow as heroic.
