More quotes by Mark Teixeira
I really expect a lot of myself.
Mark Teixeira
I expected to be in the big leagues soon. I didn't know exactly how soon, but I wanted to be here soon, and I wanted to make a difference soon.
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
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.
Mark Teixeira
I've waited a long time to be part of a franchise like this [the Yankees].
Mark Teixeira
My goal was to go to college and come out the best player.

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
My dad and all my family were into baseball. His brothers, my mom's brothers, my mom's father. Baseball was just always a part of our family.
Mark Teixeira
I went to college for a reason, and that was to skip the minor leagues. I spent a year in the minors and got my at-bats in, and then I felt like I was ready for the big leagues.
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
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.
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
My first postseason home run was a walk-off in the Division Series. That was just a special moment in my career.
Mark Teixeira
I have sensitive skin, so I don't use regular razors. The Yankees make us stay cleanly shaven!
Mark Teixeira
There's no question that I love playing in Texas. I love the fans. I love everything about Texas.
Mark Teixeira
Being from Baltimore, I'm a crab cake snob, and I'm very particular on where I eat my crab cakes.
Mark Teixeira
Baseball is a game of failure. There are plenty of opportunities to be down, or to feel sorry for yourself, or to be upset at somebody or upset at yourself.
Mark Teixeira
I would tell everyone to go to college, no matter what. It gives you time to grow up.
Mark Teixeira
I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.
Mark Teixeira
Its a real honor to be included among the list of finalists, when you see the names that are there, ... Some of the guys who won the Hank Aaron Award in the past are thought of as some of the best players in the history of the game, so just to be included with those guys is really gratifying.
