Mark Teixiera visited our Rotary Club last Wednesday as the guest speaker.
Mark grew up in Texas and played college baseball at Georgia Tech. He began his professional career with the Texas Rangers in 2001, and eventually played for the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles (Anaheim) Angels and New York Yankees over a fourteen year span.
Mark had many highlights throughout his career, including 400 plus home runs. He also faced adversity, including booing fans and batting slumps, but eventually put God first and is thankful for all he has been given.
