The Star Ledger has a small story about Mark Teixeira getting defensive when asked about the home runs at the new stadium. Yes there's been a bunch, probably too many, but, the balls Teixeira hits would be out of most parks, including Yellowstone. I'm pretty sure he hasn't hit one cheapy all year, as opposed to many others, including several by Johnny Damon, A-Rod, DJ and Nick Swisher.
I'm not complaining, and I doubt they will, but Teixeira is the last guy that should be questioned about the prolific home run barrage.
An odd moment from last night was Damon's late solo shot that gave the Yanks a 4-3 lead. It was a hanging curveball, and garbage pile Michael Kay started his call slightly before Damon made contact. When he did connect, Damon reacted as if he didn't get it all. The ball landed about five rows deep in rightfield. Not exactly a moon shot.
Teixeira, on the other hand, hit his first inning home run halfway up the second deck.
