For their final exhibition game this spring, the Yankees are playing the Army baseball team at West Point today.

Just saw this...

@JackCurryYES: Classy move by (Mark) Teixeira. Just came over and asked Army players if he can sit in their dugout during the game.

Some more quotes posted...

Army Coach Joe Sottolano on Teixeira sitting in his team's dugout: "I think we'll have some room for him."

When Teixeira sits in Army dugout (before the) game, he joked, "I will try to tell you how to pitch to these knuckleheads." Son of a Navy man gets it.

Cool sight at Army: Mariano Rivera walking through the mess hall and using his phone to videotape the cadets.

"You think Mariano Rivera faces pressure? Today he met a cadet who upon graduating will defuse bombs. "Imagine?" Rivera said."
