Mark Teixeira announced the 2016 season would be his last:
A three-time All-Star first baseman whose career has been interrupted by injuries for much of the last five years, Teixeira announced during a tear-filled news conference Friday at Yankee Stadium that he plans to retire at the end of this season.
”I gave you everything I had,” he said to Yankees fans during the televised announcement, then stopping for 15 seconds to regain his composure. ”It wasn’t always enough.”
It’s good that Teixeira realizes his career is coming to an end. The Yankees got three good seasons from him and a World Championship before injuries took their toll. He at least got to return to form in 2015, playing 111 games before an injury ended his year. He’ll end his career with over 400 doubles and 400 home runs, not bad.
