Mark Teixeira definitely wanted to give this fan a piece of his mind.
The Yankees have been having a brutal couple of days. The Blue Jays mean business and they are coming for everyone in the American League East. First baseman Mark Teixeira was trying to catch a routine foul ball and did come a little short but as that happened, something else did. One fan ran across and basically collided with Teixeira as he was still in action. Least to say, the first baseman wasn’t happy at all. Take a look at how it went down.

After the game, Teixeira sounded off in regards to what happened.
Teixeira, who snapped at the fan following the run-in, summed up the day: “You can insult. You can’t assault. We know you are upset we lost three in a row. Keep it to insults.”…
As for Teixeira’s play, the first baseman said: “He ran into me. He really wanted that baseball. I’m all right, thank God.”
It’s only fair for him to be this upset. The fan should’ve waited and it’s not like he had a good chance at catching the ball.
