Player Wives and Girlfriends

Fast Facts

• Fun Facts: In the 2008 offseason, Leigh Teixeira ultimately decided where Mark would sign. At the signing press conference, Mark said the following: "Cash [Brian Cashman] might want to give Leigh a hug, because when I asked her during the process, Where should I go, where should I go? ... Finally she said, I want you to be a Yankee, and it was a done deal."
  Peter Gammons says it better than I ever could: "He wanted to go to the Yankees because his wife doesn't like Boston -- apparently she doesn't like the stores on Newbury Street or something -- and in the end that's the way it goes."
• Hometown: Mark and Leigh reside in Westlake Texas in the offseason with their son, Jack Gordan, and daughter, Addison Leigh.
