Ex-Yankee Mark Teixeira will be running for Texas' 21st Congressional District in the U.S. House. His announcement follows Rep. Chip Roy’s decision not to seek re-election as he runs for the office of the Texas Attorney General.
Teixeira released an official statement on social media, saying he’s "ready to help defend President Trump’s America First agenda, Texas families, and individual liberty."
"As a proud Texan and lifelong conservative who loves our country, I’m ready to fight for the principles that make Texas strong and America exceptional," the statement read. "It takes teamwork to win, and I’m ready to help defend President Trump’s America First agenda, Texas families, and individual liberty."
"Never thought I’d hear myself say it, but just this once, stick to sports," wrote one user.
Another X user wrote, "Mark Teixeira being a MAGA POS doesn’t surprise me one bit."One user even went so far as to call Teixeira a "bad person," in response to his run as a Republican.
"Did not know Mark Teixeira was a bad person but here we are," that user wrote.

Thanks for the hashtags. You saved me the work. And there are others, including at least a few that I really respect as players. Good thing the Yankees are so hot this year. Takes my mind off the national emergency. Oh wait...
He dead to me. I mean he's more dead to me now than he was after all those years of limp ground outs to the right side.
Cupcake beat up week continues…
I think they have a chance in this one.
On a scale of 0 to -1, where does cupcake rate relative to tomato can?
I’ll defer to ED on that…
Yankees Win!!!
THEY DO THIS EVERY YEAR AT THIS TIME. THE SWOON WILL COME SOON.
Oh sh*t – was there a Yankees of NY game today ?
Should I post a game thread ?
Drat
My Portuguese girlfriend is totally disgusted with him. Formerly a big Teixeira fan. He better stay in Texas. He shouldn't cross paths with her at the moment.
But the red hats in the front office are probably donating to his campaign. Looking right at you Randy Levine, Lonn Trost and Hal.
