Mark Teixeira Hard Quotations

Maybe that's it. Either that or there was a flaw or defect in the baseball. I hit it hard but ... I don't know if I could take credit for that.

That was the hardest ball ever hit to me down at first base.

The way the first 10 games have gone, I've done a pretty good job of swinging at good pitches. That shows in the lack of strikeouts. Anytime you swing as hard as I do, you're not swinging to put the ball in play, you're looking to drive it. Anytime you do that, you're going to swing and miss. But if I swing at better pitches, my whole game will be better.
