雖然他從03年後就沒在這投球,但他希望能在這裡退休.
Yankees完成了他的願望,給他一張小聯盟合約後,
Jeff Nelson就宣布退休.

他是90年代末期四次WS中重要的成員,
Nelson-Stanton-Rivera是Yankees最可靠的一道防線
有印象的話,應該還記得他帥氣的投球姿勢吧 XD

Jeff Nelson wanted to retire as a Yankee and the team granted that wish,
signing him to a minor-league deal today before he officially retired.

Nelson, 40, was a member of the four World Series champions under Joe Torre.
In 331 career appearances with the Yankees, he posted a 23-19 record with a
3.47 ERA from 1996-2000 and in 2003.

Nelson made 798 career appearances and played in the postseason eight times.
He ranks second among all pitchers in Major League history with 53 postseason
appearances, behind only Mariano Rivera (73). That's a heck of a career.

"I'd like to thank George Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman, Joe Torre and the
entire Yankees' family for allowing me to retire as a New York Yankee,"
Nelson said in a statement released by the team. "I enjoyed a fulfilling
15-year Major League career, and each season brought experiences and friends
that I will cherish forever. But being able to be a part of four World
Championship teams with the Yankees, while playing in a place like Yankee
Stadium in front of the greatest fans in the world - that time will always
hold a special place in my heart."
