Mark Teixeira the switch-hitting first baseman signed as a free agent with the Yankees prior to the 2009 season. In Teixeira the Bombers landed a fundamentally-sound model teammate to lockdown first base for years to come. In his first campaign with the Yankees Teixeira lead the league in both HR 39 and RBI 122 and came in second in the AL MVP voting. He was also awarded a Silver Slugger Award for his work at the plate and earned a Gold Glove for his flawless defense. Batting in front of Alex Rodriguez Teixeira helps make up the most formidable 1-2 punch in all of baseball. This New York Yankees batting helmet has been signed by Teixeira and MLB authenticated. It comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
