Parson Nicholson

A strong keystone combination is considered essential for a good team. Before there was Whitaker and Trammell, before The Wizard and Tommy Herr, before Tinker and Evers (and Chance), there was Nicholson and Scheibeck. Who, you ask? In 1890, Parson Nicholson and Frank Scheibeck became just the third major league combo to start every game for their club at second base and shortstop, respectively. - SABR

He received the nickname "Parson" because he refused to play baseball on Sundays. All told, he played three major-league seasons, the vast majority being for the aforementioned 1890 Toledo Maumees. Who can forget them, really?

Redid the facegen.
