Switch-hitting is one of the greatest things in the world and one of the worst things in the world.
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.
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
You can never pat yourself on the back during the season. Then you get complacent, stop working and let yourself slide.
Mark Teixeira
I would tell everyone to go to college, no matter what. It gives you time to grow up.
Mark Teixeira
My closet is in perfect order at home. All my dress shirts, all my casual shirts. All my suits, they're color coordinated. All my ties are color coordinated.

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.

The only dream I've ever had is to become a major league baseball player.

My biggest thing is I need to see a lot of pitches, which I did today. That's good. The more pitches you see, the better your timing is going to be. But it's going to be impossible to see enough pitches. No matter how many pitches you see, it's still going to be March 6.

If you are searching for your purpose in life then you're never going to be satisfied. This life will never satisfy you. You'll never be happy and you'll never be content. The only really contentment or true happiness is with Christ.
Mark Teixeira
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.
Mark Teixeira
It's an honor to be playing with these four players and to be a part of their fifth World Series title and my first.
Mark Teixeira
I have a lot of watches that need to be kept wound, so if I take two of them on a trip, there's always one sitting around. And if it sits around for a day, then it'll stop working. And then you have to reset the time and date, which is annoying.
Mark Teixeira
I'm so excited about the new [Yankee] stadium!
Mark Teixeira
It's just about being in the zone, in any sport, be it football, basketball or baseball.
Mark Teixeira
I have three beautiful children and a World Series ring. That's all I need.
Mark Teixeira
Agents are probably going to hate me for saying it... You're not very valuable when you're making $20 million. When you're Mike Trout, making the minimum, you are crazy valuable. My first six years, before I was a free agent, I was very valuable. But there's nothing you can do that can justify a $20 million contract.
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 was always a neat kid. I never wanted my hands dirty. I wasn't a dirty kid. A lot of kids like to run around. If I was rolling around the dirt, I went home and took a shower. That's just the way I was. I'm not sure. I might have been born with it.
Mark Teixeira
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.
