From 'DA's New York Accent' (Subscribe Here): Jeff Nelson’s timing is impeccable. He was traded to the Yankees in December of 1995, just 10 months before the Yankees won their first World Series title since 1978. He collected three more championships with the Bombers and then left in 2001, just as the next title drought began. He was in the dugout for two Yankees perfect games and then called another last week for YES as Domingo German achieved the historic feat. Nelson discusses his trade with Tino Martinez, the ghosts in the Old Stadium, and the late nights of David Wells and David Cone. He discusses the 116-win Mariners team that touched regular season history but was doomed by his old Yankees teammates, and the chances for an October run in the Bronx this year.
