World Series Master Mark Teixeira has a message to Democrats who are upset over Texas’ new congress card.

“What I wanted to tell Democrats in Texas, across the country, is when you have policies that actually want to help Americans come and talk to us. But Republicans are out there, conservatives are out there with a first agenda and we want to help Americans help Texans every single day.”

“It’s probably the limit, low taxes, shrinking the government as they grow the economy, protecting life and the second amendment.

The 45-year-old played for four teams in his big league career. Teixeira debuted with Texas Rangers and spent five seasons with the team before being shopped for Atlanta Braves.

He was later traded to Los Angeles Angels after parts of two seasons with braves and then signed with Yankees.
The five-time Gold Glove winner was an important part of the Yankees team in 2009 that beat Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. Teixeira completed her career with a .268 batting average, 409 home runs and 1,298 RBIs.
