Default RPPC 1908 Oshkosh Indians with Kid Nichols, manager

Another possible '1 of 1', with tie-in to Stengel card - Nichols was Stengel's neighbor in Kansas City.

In the spring of 1910 (according to Stengel's biographer, Robert Creamer), before Stengel reported to the Kansas City Blues, Nichols gave him some advice, cautioning him about arguing and advising him to listen to his manager and the older players. Fifty years later, Stengel still remembered that conversation.
