Player Biography
Though slight in stature, Charles “Kid” Nichols was a giant among pitchers. In a 15-year career, Nichols – known for his velocity, curve and control – dominated late-19th century hitters, winning 360 games. During one stretch, he won at least 27 games for nine consecutive seasons. Nichols completed 531 of the 561 games he started. “You stayed in there and worked in those days,” Nichols said. “My objective was to have the batter hit at the first one, and the second one and the third one. By that time, barring fouls, I figure he is either out or had made a hit.”
