More quotes by Mark Teixeira
Christ doesn't keep score. It's not about what you do here. It's about the person you are. It's about your faith. That's one thing that I'd like for young kids or anybody to know.
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've waited a long time to be part of a franchise like this [the Yankees].
Mark Teixeira
I've always felt that I need to be somebody in the middle of the lineup that's going to drive in runs and come up with big hits.
Mark Teixeira
Education is very important to me, as is helping children.
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
To be able to play baseball for those nine innings in front of a major league crowd is a special privilege.
Mark Teixeira
I'm not one of those crazy collectors - I don't have a hundred watches. Only five or six. But I do like to wear a nice watch, especially if we're on the road and I'm wearing a nice suit.
Mark Teixeira
Switch-hitting is one of the greatest things in the world and one of the worst things in the world.
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
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
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.
Mark Teixeira
The only dream I've ever had is to become a major league baseball player.
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
You can never pat yourself on the back during the season. Then you get complacent, stop working and let yourself slide.
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
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
I have sensitive skin, so I don't use regular razors. The Yankees make us stay cleanly shaven!
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
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.
