Editing Jeff Nelson (pitcher) (section)

===Surgery===
On June 8, 2006, Nelson announced that he would undergo surgery, to relieve a nerve in his right elbow, that was likely to mark the end of Nelson's active baseball career. Following the operation on his pitching elbow, on May 10, 2007, there was controversy when he tried to sell bone chips from his elbow, removed in the operation, on [[eBay]] who cancelled the auction. Nelson, whose daughters attended [[The Bear Creek School]], were going to give half the proceeds to the school and half to the Curtis Williams Foundation.<ref>[https://www.espn.com/sportsbusiness/s/2002/0515/1382741.html "Body parts not allowed to be listed on eBay"], Darren Rovell, [[ESPN]], May 15, 2007</ref>

Nelson signed a minor league contract with the Yankees in January 2007 so that he could officially retire as a Yankee.<ref name=retires/>
