“Haute Living is targeted towards those who desire—and have the means to experience—the finest things in life.” And this includes that Teixeira pan?
“It’s so much grander, so much more impressive, so much more special than anywhere I’ve been, and I’ve played in some great places,” he said. “But when you come to New York and you see 27 championships, you see Monument Park and all the great players that have played there, when you [put on] the pinstripes, it’s just grander and more special than anything else.”
His wife and college sweetheart Leigh Williams played a big part in his decision to put on the iconic pinstripes.
“I had five teams that I was negotiating with all over the place, you know ‘should I go here, should I go there,’” he said. “But at the end of the day, my wife and I were at dinner, and we looked at all the different options and said, ok well if all else is equal, you know the Yankees is the team that we’d want to play for. And in the back of my mind ever since I was a rookie, I’d [thought] it would be kind of cool to play for the Yankees, because I understand how special that is.”
...And he has nothing but good things to say about his current team.
“A lot of people think because of our payroll, because we’re in New York City, they assume we’re very uptight, they assume we’re very almost robotic, but this is one of the most fun teams I’ve ever been on,” he said. “We have a lot of jokesters on the team, we’re constantly getting on each other, we’re having fun – when you win it’s easy to have fun. And when you win here in New York there is nothing better than the energy in that stadium, the energy when you go out in the city, or anywhere around New York because everyone loves the Yankees.”

1. Shock Posted: August 24, 2011 at 10:32 PM (#3908136)And you know why? Because you say things like "we have a lot of jokesters on the team," which is the sort of thing that no human being has actually ever said. Because you're being profiled in something called "Haute Living Magazine", which no human being has ever actually read. You, Mark Teixeira, are the one that people think of as boring, because you are. Horrifically, blindingly, boring.
I guess the question with Mark is whether he's actually this boring, all the way down to his core, or whether there's some sort of repression that will return in later years. In other words, is Teixeira as boring as he makes himself out to be, or did he have to keep the Haute Living Magazine reporter from looking too closely, lest they uncover the android sex dungeon?
Incorrect.
The following people have said, "We have a lot of jokesters on the team":
Yuba College's red-headed forward Sean Harris
Juneau-Douglas High School catcher Nano Jacobson
New England Revolution goalie Matt Reis
Oklahoma Sooners guard Omar Leary
Georgetown defender Ben Slingerland
Texas softball player Rachael Cook
Just to be clear- these are only the people who said that and had it reported on the internet. Prior to the creation of the internet, there were probably lots of other people who also said it. I really don't know what the basis for your statement was. You need to do more research before saying something like that.
From their website:
This explains why no Red Sox fan would be aware of this magazine.
You've yet to win me over on the "jokesters" front, but this is pretty damning evidence. No corporate stooge would ever appear in a magazine like that.
Juneau-Douglas High School catcher Nano Jacobson
New England Revolution goalie Matt Reis
Oklahoma Sooners guard Omar Leary
Georgetown defender Ben Slingerland
Texas softball player Rachael Cook
All boring people. It's true, I looked it up.
The Tommy John issue sold out in Indiana.
There we go.
How does that explain Mikael's feelings on Nick, CC, Robby and A.J.?
As I told Andy, this Red Sox fan detested Teixeira long before he donned Lucifer's Pajamas. That he's now wearing them only makes the hate feel more natural.
Where do I get one of those?
Oh, I'm sure he hates them for other reasons.
At the android app store?
He's also boring as hell to watch!
Edit: Game tying HR tonight, uh, I feel silly.
Check out the adverts in the back of Haute Living Magazine.
I'm seeing 9/$180 from the Nats, which wouldn't be larger than what he signed for.
According to multiple sources, the Washington Nationals have sweetened their proposal to first baseman Mark Teixeira, offering him an eight-year deal worth $178 to $184 million.
Didn't see that one. So then it's most accurate to say Nats possibly made him the largest ofer.
