Jeff Nelson's experienced the best years of his career while wearing the pinstripes for New York. Combined with Mariano Rivera and Mike Stanton they created a three headed monster that wrought havoc upon the opposition late in games and became a major part of the Yankees' post-season success. With him during one of those late autumn outings was this white "home" jersey worn during Game 3 of the Yankees 1998 World Series sweep of the Padres. On the front left chest is the classic navy "NY" logo, on back his number "43", and, most important, on the left sleeve is the "1998 World Series". The tail includes extensive tagging in the form of "Russell Athletic [size] 50" manufacturer's tag, "Nelson 98" name/year tag, and 100% Polyester and "4" Extra Length" flag tags. Overall, the garment displays light but evident use associated with relief pitchers. Comes with an LOA from Steiner Sports and their hologram.
