Mark Teixeira, Texas Rangers
4 for 5, 2 HR, 3 runs, 6 rbis
The more I see this guy, the more I’m convinced he is the the firstbaseman of the future. The only reason you don’t hear more about him is that folks can’t pronounce his name. I was in the Embassy, my favorite hangout, watching a game the Rangers were playing. Of course the sound was down and the closed captioning was on. This guy was saying, “Check it out, here’s this guy Mark Tex-eera, he’s s’posed to be pretty good”. I rest my case.
