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.

More quotes by Mark Teixeira
I have sensitive skin, so I don't use regular razors. The Yankees make us stay cleanly shaven!
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
You can never pat yourself on the back during the season. Then you get complacent, stop working and let yourself slide.
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
Education is very important to me, as is helping children.

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.

I would tell everyone to go to college, no matter what. It gives you time to grow up.
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
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'm so excited about the new [Yankee] stadium!

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'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
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 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
I have a relationship with Christ. It allows me to handle situations better. It allows me to treat people better and it allows me to have a better mental attitude towards baseball.
