WATCH: Yankees' Mark Teixeira Lashes Out At Fan After Dropping Ball
Is the pressure getting to New York Yankees' first baseman Mark Teixeira? Is there a case here for the 'customer is always right?'
As the Yankees narrowly hang on to first place standing in the AL East -- just ahead of the Blue Jays -- it's possible there's room for misunderstandings.
So maybe players are a bit on edge -- as witnessed during Sunday's New York Yankees game against Toronto.

"You can insult," Teixeira said, according to the New York Post. "You can't assault. We know you are upset we lost three in a row. Keep it to insults."
Teixeira was concerned about getting injured.
"He ran into me," he said, according to the newspaper. "He really wanted that baseball. I'm all right, thank God."
Maybe he should stop flying into the stands for foul balls if he's that concerned with injury.
Teixeira comes off as a whiner. Hold on to the ball next time and fans won't be scrambling for the loose ball.
