I thought I was safe. As I came in, I saw a small piece of the plate and I slid to it. If a catcher has the plate blocked off, I'm either going to slide around him or run him over. But I saw a small piece of the late and slid to it and beat it by two steps.
More Quotes from Mark Teixeira:
The way the first 10 games have gone, I've done a pretty good job of swinging at good pitches. That shows in the lack of strikeouts. Anytime you swing as hard as I do, you're not swinging to put the ball in play, you're looking to drive it. Anytime you do that, you're going to swing and miss. But if I swing at better pitches, my whole game will be better.Mark Teixeira
