On his second day in instructional league camp, Tim Tebow had the No. 1-selling jersey on MLB.com.

The uniform top, with T-E-B-O-W stitched on the back above the No. 15, is available from Majestic, which signed Tebow to a separate marketing deal when the New York Mets agreed to a $100,000 minor-league deal with the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner.

A similar T-shirt, made to look like a jersey with name and number on the back, was second only to the Chicago Cubs National League Central champions T-shirt in MLB.com sales.

Cubs MVP candidate Kris Bryant is second in jersey sales, per MLB.com.
