Former relief pitcher Jeff Nelson came over to the New York Yankees from the Seattle Mariners in the same trade that brought Tino Martinez as well. Nelson was a strong right handed presence in the Yankees bullpen that produced four World Series titles in five seasons and was the perfect bridge to Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera.

Offered here is one of the jerseys Nelson wore during the 2000 season that comes directly from the personal collection of Jeff Nelson. Nelson and the Yankees finished off their third straight World Series title when they defeated their crosstown rival New York Mets in five games. This Russell Athletic size 50 button-down road Yankees jersey has “NEW YORK” in sewn on in block letters across the chest in navy and white tackle twill. The Russell tag and a white tag with “YO” in black print are sewn on the front left tail, along with “100% POLYESTER” and “4” EXTRA LENGTH” flags. The sleeves have navy/white/navy stripes on the ends and a black armband on the left sleeve in memory of former manager Bob Lemon. Nelson’s number “43” is sewn on the back in navy and white tackle twill and the MLB logo patch is sewn on above Nelson’s number on the upper back neck.
