He played briefly in the <a href="/wiki/American_League" title="American League">American League</a> for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1936, then spent two years in the <a href="/wiki/Minor_league_baseball" class="mw-redirect" title="Minor league baseball">minors</a> before joining the Chicago Cubs in 1939. </p><p>Nicholson became a regular with the Cubs in 1940. His most productive season came in 1943, when he hit .309 with a league-leading 29 home runs and 128 runs batted in. He finished third in the <a href="/wiki/MLB_Most_Valuable_Player_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="MLB Most Valuable Player Award">NL MVP Award</a> vote behind <a href="/wiki/Stan_Musial" title="Stan Musial">Stan Musial</a> and <a href="/wiki/Walker_Cooper" title="Walker Cooper">Walker Cooper</a>. </p><p>In 1944, Nicholson slipped to .287, but he again led the NL in home runs (33) and runs batted in (122), as well as <a href="/wiki/Run_(baseball)" title="Run (baseball)">runs</a> (116) and <a href="/wiki/Total_bases" title="Total bases">total bases</a> (317). In the same season, after hitting four consecutive homers in a July 23 doubleheader at the <a href="/wiki/Polo_Grounds" title="Polo Grounds">Polo Grounds</a>, he came to <a href="/wiki/At_bat" title="At bat">bat</a> with the bases loaded in the eighth inning of the second game, and was intentionally walked. Obviously, that forced in a run, but the Cubs could not score again and the Giants won the game, 12–10. This time, he lost the MVP honors by one vote to <a href="/wiki/Marty_Marion" title="Marty Marion">Marty Marion</a>. </p><p>Although Nicholson helped the Cubs to the 1945 pennant, his failing eyesight resulted in a slip in production. He hit only .243 with 13 home runs and 88 runs batted in during the regular season, and batted just .214 with eight runs batted in during Chicago's seven-game loss to the <a href="/wiki/Detroit_Tigers" title="Detroit Tigers">Detroit Tigers</a> in the <a href="/wiki/1945_World_Series" title="1945 World Series">World Series</a>. The eight RBIs was the record for a 7-game World Series. </p><p>In 1949, Nicholson was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, where he became a part-time player and frequent <a href="/wiki/Pinch-hitter" class="mw-redirect" title="Pinch-hitter">pinch-hitter</a>. The next season, after he became weak and lost weight, it was disclosed that Nicholson was diabetic. He was unable to play in the World Series with his "<a href="/wiki/Whiz_Kids_(baseball)" title="Whiz Kids (baseball)">Whiz Kids</a>" teammates against the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Yankees" title="New York Yankees">Yankees</a>. Well respected as one of the toughest men to double up, Nicholson hit into <a href="/wiki/Double_play" title="Double play">double plays</a> only once every 90.7 at-bats.
