As Teixeira eyes retirement, we look back on his eight seasons in pinstripes
Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira announced his retirement in an emotional press conference yesterday, meaning these will be the final two months of Teixeira in pinstripes, or on any major league diamond.
Teixeira played a major role on the Yankees most recent championship team in 2009. He consistently provided the Yankees with a solid glove at first base, and a power threat from both sides of the plate. Sadly, his career became ravaged by injury, and he felt it was time to say goodbye.
