Don’t interfere with Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira when he’s trying to make a play on the ball.
One fan learned that lesson the hard way. And maybe he caught Tex on a bad day now that the Blue Jays are nipping at the Yankees’ heels. But whatever the reason, things got ugly pretty quickly.
It happened when Teixeira leaned over into the stands to track down a fly ball in foul territory during Monday’s game. He didn’t make the catch, but while he was still hanging over, a fan bumped into him and nearly pushed him out of the way. Tex wasn’t happy about it and had some words afterwards.

You can’t fault Teixeira for being upset. It’s just a baseball. No grown man should be that adamant about getting one. It’s just a souvenir.
