BIO: Charles Augustus Nichols was born in 1869 in Madison, WI and died in 1953 in Kansas City, MO. He played major league baseball from 1890 to 1906 as pitcher for the Boston Beaneaters, St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies, appeared in the 1892 World Series, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1949. He also managed the 1904-05 Cardinals as a player/manager. After his playing days he coached at the college level. "You never heard anyone with a sore arm in my day. When we weren't pitching, we either played the outfield or doubled as ticket takers. The biggest strain my arm ever underwent was at the Polo Grounds when I counted 30,000 tickets." - Kid Nichols, 1948
