Chet Nichols Stats by Baseball Almanac

Did you know that Chet Nichols served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War? Following his Major League career Nichols fought during the War, served as a Minor League pitching coach for the Baltimore Orioles and spent twenty-five years of his life in the banking business — the poem below should now make perfect sense:

Chet Nichols
by Thomas Michael McDade

Could have been the jingle
of his name that led him
to the banking game.

But then again, he was
"Chet Thrift" with runs
back in fifty-one

When his ERA was lowest
in the Senior Circuit -
his winning mark
just a tad higher
than prime!
