" Not even Johnny Damon, a straight shooter, has the kind of edge to his personality that Teixeira displayed. One Yankee insider said, 'Tex doesn’t show it in public, but he’s got some Tino [Martinez] and Paulie [O’Neill] in him. You should see him in the dugout. Him and A.J. [Burnett]. They’ve both got [tempers].' "
When I was like eight or ten, I remember being genuinely scared of Paul O'Neill because he was SO INTENSE!!!! about EVERYTHING!!!!!! But was Tino always angry? Huh.
Anyway, Tex is hot, may be hotter if he's got one hell of a temper about baseball, and I'm glad he's not injured after that asshole Ray pitcher hit him. :(
