    Description

    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
    NL MVP Award
    vote behind
    Stan Musial
    and
    Walker Cooper
    .
    In the 1944 season, after hitting four consecutive homers in a July 23 doubleheader at the
    Polo Grounds
    , he came to
    bat
    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
    Marty Marion
    .
    Please see photos for condition of the  postcard and signature. Postcard and autograph are nice, autograph is big and bold.
