The Resume

    (November 17, 1966- )
    Relief Pitcher for the New York Yankees (1996-2000, August 6, 2003- )
    Pitched for the Seattle Mariners (1992-1995, 2001-August 6, 2003)
    Pitcher for the Texas Rangers (January 12, 2004 - )

Why he might be annoying:

    He criticized the management of the Seattle Mariners, for not making a major trade to help the team prior to the 2003 trading deadline.
    It seems Seattle traded him to the New York Yankees because of that comments. (August 2003).
    He placed bone chips from his elbow surgery up for bid on eBay. eBay removed the auction because sales of body parts are prohibited.
    He got into a shouting match with Joe Torre because he didn't name him to the All Star team (July 2000).
    His comment about Joe Torre to the New York Post was ‘If I am not going to get the respect from my manager, I am not going to be a bulldog and suck one up for the team. (2000).'
    In 1998, Paul Priore filed a lawsuit against him and the Yankees. The lawsuit claimed Priore was humiliated with gay-bashing remarks, harassed and threatened with sexual assault by Nelson.
    He is like a yo-yo, pitching for Seattle than New York than Seattle and back to New York.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He won four World Series rings.
    His name sound like he should be an astronaut.
    When he pitched for the Yankees – right hand batters avg .118.
    His pitches move like a frisbee.
    He was part of one of the most lopsided trades. The Yankees acquired him along with Tino Martinez for Russ Davis and Sterling Hitchcok who went to the Seattle Mariners.
    He has a nasty slider.
