Mark Teixeira Play Quotations

To be able to play baseball for those nine innings in front of a major league crowd is a special privilege.

I didn't realize how much I loved the game until I couldn't play it.

I don't play to prove people right or wrong. I just want to win.

I don't play baseball first. I put Christ first in my life. I put my family behind Him and I put baseball down the line. I obviously want to succeed. I want to do well. I want to perform. But at the same time, I'm at peace that no matter what happens on this earth, the more important part is being a Christian, and being in the Kingdom of Heaven when it's all said and done.

I love being a Yankee, and it's hard not to. It's a special place to play.
