Mark Teixeira--3 toughest pitchers to hit

Teixeira breaks the toughest pitchers to hit into three categories: right-handed starter (Roy Halladay), left-handed starter (Johan Santana) and reliever (Mariano Rivera).

• "I know what he's going to throw, and I know where he's going to throw it," Teixeira said of Rivera, against whom he is 1-for-9 lifetime.

"And every time I swing I either hit it 80 feet foul or break my bat."

From the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, 2/8/07, by David Sessions, "Teixeira takes a few cuts."
