Mark Teixeira: back from the grave dug by too many Yankee fans, hits dramatic 9th inning homers in consecutive starts.

Mark Teixeira was the starting first baseman on the most recent and possibly last Yankee championship team back in 2009. In that first Yankee season Mark Teixeira led the American Conference in Home Runs, RBI and Total Bases. In the first three of his eight Yankee seasons:
HR: 39, 33, 39
RBI: 122, 108, 111

Season 4: 123 games, 115 OPS+
Season 5: 15 games, 68 OPS+
Season 6: 123 games, 101 OPS+
Season 7: 111 games, 144 OPS+, 31 HR
Season 8: 113 games, 75 OPS+

The Yankees broke a four game losing streak with three consecutive wins, in which their first basemen homered late to drive in the tying or winning runs.

Teixeira relished it as he had his game tying home run, complete with Jose Bautista mock bat flip, in Toronto two days before.

Mark Teixeira was joyful in his post game, on field interview. Yankee fans should have treated him better all along, including and maybe especially, in this his final and most difficult season. Nobody likes front running fans. Nobody. Especially, front running Yankee fans.
