[edit] Biographical Information

In a very short career, George Nicol made a big impression both as a pitcher and as a hitter. He pitched a no-hitter in his first game and a one-hitter in his second. As a hitter, his lifetime average was .362.

SABR has a biography of Nicol which says he was playing for Los Angeles in 1893 when the league's finances became shaky. He went to Erie for the rest of the season.
