Apr. 6—The Georgia Tech baseball program announced Thursday that it will retire the No. 23, worn by former Yellow Jacket standout, and former Atlanta Braves first baseman, Mark Teixeira.
Teixeira will be honored in a special pregame ceremony on May 20, before Georgia Tech takes on Virginia at noon. His number will join only two previously retired numbers in program history — No. 44 for infielder and eventual head coach Jim Luck and No. 33 for Jason Varitek.
"To be able to retire Mark Teixeira's number is one of my great honors as a head coach," head coach Danny Hall said.
