OT - Mark Teixeira announces retirement

[knightfan7]

At the end of the year. Seems it was coming for a while as all the injuries piled up.

Had some good years with the Yanks. Was doing well last year until the leg injury ended his season.

He should have retired last year

He should have retired last year

I'm guessing 31 HR, 79 RBI in only 111 games before the injury made him think he still had it.

Did you actually watch the games last year?

 

[czxqa]

Yeah he was still pretty solid last year but just a shell of his former self this year.

He'll have a pretty good second career as a base coach relaying stolen signals to the batter up,lol.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Good career . Yankees got a World Series win out of him . Can't complain

 

[tico brown]

He has had a great career: steady and consistent stats through his 14 year career with his bat and glove. Any chance for HOF with 400+ HRs?

No HOF for Texiera......He's a 3 time all-star....was a very good but not dominant player

I guess the roids wore off quick.

 

[shields]

Batting average has been bad the last 4 years.

I guess the roids wore off quick.

And you are basing that on what?
