Mark Teixeira is happy that Gleyber Torres is wearing his number for the best possible reason

Gleyber Torres, the Yankees' top prospect and No. 5 prospect in the Majors, made his debut on Sunday afternoon in the Yankees' 5-1 victory. Though he went 0-for-4, the future is bright for the star infielder. 
No one was happier than Mark Teixeira -- though for a rather odd reason. You see, Torres donned No. 25, which was Teixeira's number. Many stars might be peeved that their uniform number wasn't kept off the field for a few years in honor of the glorious years before. 
Not Tex: 

I thinks it’s awesome that @TorresGleyber is wearing #25 for the @Yankees. I hope he becomes a star and millions buy his jerseys. Then when I see them in the stadium and on the streets I can tell people, “Look, another Tex jersey”.

So, just remember: Every No. 25 you see on the streets is for Teixeira and not Torres, or Jason Giambi or Tommy John.
