A Special Place

It was nice for Jeff Nelson to finish his career as a Yankee. The team signed him to a minor-league contract before he officially retired today.

It was also nice of Nelson to say, "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. 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."

Mine, too.
