This is the first full-length biography of Kid Nichols (1869-1953),
who won 30 or more games a record seven times and was the youngest
pitcher to reach 300 career victories. Much new light is shed on
Nichols' early life in Madison, Wisconsin, along with important
influences and experiences as a teenager living in Kansas City. His
professional career is documented by drawing heavily from
publications of the era and Nichols' own words. The high regard in
which he was held by fans, teammates and even opponents is
contrasted with his contentious relationship with team owners.
Nichols' period of restlessness, ambition, and risk-taking
following his long stint with Boston's National League team is
detailed, as is the campaign to get him into the Hall of Fame. The
book includes previously unpublished photos from his descendants'
archives, many more than a century old.
