Seriously? David Eckstein? Had he not been on some World Series teams he would be an unknown.
The old undersized minority media bias. lol
Tebow has a huge following because not only is he a unique player who has this habit of winning, but he is unabashedly a christian. THAT is why he gets more coverage than any other players. You may not like it but Fox news gets huge ratings compared to its competitors. The same audience is Tebow fans. The competitors audience are Tebow haters. The thing is that they all have an opinion on him which makes them watch. Him being white is a sidebar.
