My Take
Mark Teixeira is the kind of player connoisseurs adore. Fourteen big-league seasons with the Yankees, Rangers and others, a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove mark him as a genuine two-way first baseman who could both hit and field. I appreciate that range; defense at first is underrated, and he made it look secure. The Georgia Tech background hints at the cerebral side of his game, and his post-playing turn toward broadcasting and politics shows real appetite for second acts. To me he was a quietly excellent, deeply admirable cornerstone.
