More quotes by Mark Teixeira
Every time I pray, I ask for forgiveness. I'm a sinner. I sin every single day. But I do know that God loves me. I do know that God forgives me. It helps me in my every day life because there's nothing anyone can do to me that I can't forgive them for.

If I can be a good person and help a few non-believers or even help people that are believers but need a little help along the way, I think that's a job that I take very seriously.
Mark Teixeira
Baseball can be a game of peaks and valleys. Mentally, I want to stay away from the ups and downs and just maintain a level approach.
Mark Teixeira
I think everybody out there on the American team is out of their element. That's not an excuse. That's the way it is. It's early in the spring. A lot of guys are not as (locked-in) as they could be.

I enjoy spending time with my family. And when my family's not around, when I'm on the road, a lot of sleep. I get my rest. I understand how important my job is and how important rest is to that job. I'm pretty boring.

Education is very important to me, as is helping children.

You can never completely get it - being a Christian - but I think I really got it when my first son was born in 2006. I just realized the love that God has for all of us. It was seeing my son born and knowing the unconditional love that I have for him.
Mark Teixeira
God has forgiven everything that I've ever done. If someone does something to hurt my family or me, I can always forgive them. It keeps hate and anger out of my heart.
Mark Teixeira
Switch-hitting is one of the greatest things in the world and one of the worst things in the world.
Mark Teixeira
It's just about being in the zone, in any sport, be it football, basketball or baseball.
Mark Teixeira
We can't be perfect all the time and that's okay. In the heat of the battle, in the heat of the moment, you might say things or do things that aren't right, but at the same time, Christ forgives us. Christ will always forgive you.
Mark Teixeira
I've waited a long time to be part of a franchise like this [the Yankees].
Mark Teixeira
I would tell everyone to go to college, no matter what. It gives you time to grow up.
Mark Teixeira
To be able to play baseball for those nine innings in front of a major league crowd is a special privilege.
Mark Teixeira
I really expect a lot of myself.
Mark Teixeira
I've been very fortunate to play for four great organizations, but New York really takes the cake. Wearing the pinstripes is something that's very special to me, and it's the greatest organization in sports history.
Mark Teixeira
There are always things to improve on. I want to improve on my defense, and you can never be a perfect hitter. I want to focus on just playing more and being able to improve on all parts of my game.
