List of Mark Teixeira quotes.

Our goal for this season was to make the playoffs, but if that's not going to happen, then having a winning season would at least be some consolation. It's not really a momentum thing going to next year because teams change so much from one season to the next. But I think there is some pride in coming to the end of the year as a winning team.

Any time you get named in a list like that, it's very humbling, ... To see the careers those guys have had and the career that Pujols is going to have ... it's nice to be part of that group.

It doesn't mean that much unless the team wins, ... Individual goals are great, but when I'm watching the playoffs, it won't mean that much.
