At the end of April I admonished fellow Yankee fans who were buying tickets at exorbitant prices to sit in Yankee stadium and boo Mark Teixeira for his slow start. I said that we should reserve judgement until at least the end of May. The requirements: a .250 average or higher, and some good performances in clutch spots.
Well, Tex is hitting .279. His OPS is .982, good for 9th in the American League. He is tied for 4th in MLB with 16 home runs.

His tremendously skilled glove at first was one of the most important reasons why the Yankees broke the record for consecutive games played without an error.
And as for the clutch performances, you can find them here, here, here, here, and a bunch of other places.
Apologies for booing Tex can be mailed to the following address (a handwritten note would convey more sincerity):
Mark Teixeira
