Mark Teixeira Biography

Mark Teixeira is a switch-hitter in Major League Baseball history, a World Series champion, and a member of the United States Congress. Teixeira spent 14 seasons as a first baseman with the Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and New York Yankees. Before his professional career, he played college baseball at Georgia Tech, where he won the Dick Howser Trophy as the national collegiate baseball player of the year. During his three-year college career, he batted .409, hit 36 home runs, and drove in 165 runs. Teixeira is one of three Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to have his number retired and is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame.

The Texas Rangers selected Teixeira in the first round, with the fifth overall pick, of the MLB Draft. He became the third switch-hitter in MLB history to hit at least 20 home runs in each of his first three seasons, following Eddie Murray and Chipper Jones. Teixeira was a three-time All-Star, won five Gold Glove Awards and three Silver Slugger Awards, and holds the major-league record for most games with a home run from both sides of the plate, with 14. He was the fifth switch-hitter in history to reach the 400-homer mark. Teixeira joined the New York Yankees on an eight-year contract and was a member of the Yankees' 27th World Series championship team, leading the American League in home runs and runs batted in while finishing second in the Most Valuable Player Award balloting.

After retiring from baseball, Teixeira became a broadcaster for ESPN. He served as an analyst for ESPN's "Baseball Tonight: Sunday Night Countdown" and as a primary "Baseball Tonight" analyst for episodes attached to significant events, including the MLB All-Star Game and Home Run Derby, Opening Day, Wild Card Game, and the World Series. His media presence and years of high-profile interviews across major markets established his platform and public voice beyond professional baseball.

Teixeira filed paperwork to run for Texas' 21st Congressional District and announced his bid on social media. He also worked with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a conservative think tank, to advocate for educational freedom and private school vouchers in the state. Teixeira won the Republican primary for Congress with more than 61% of the vote and has been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Texas' 21st Congressional District. His transition from professional baseball to Congress highlights a career spanning sports, media, and public service.
