David Lawrence Nicholson (born August 29, 1939) is a former outfielder for the Baltimore Orioles (1960 and 1962), Chicago White Sox (1963–1965), Houston Astros (1966) and Atlanta Braves (1967), known for his towering, although infrequent, home runs. In 1964, he hit a home run measured at 573 feet (175 m) onto-and-over the left-field roof of Chicago's Comiskey Park. Nicholson threw and batted right-handed and was listed as 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and 215 pounds (98 kg). While playing in Chicago, his tape-measure home runs earned him the nickname "Big Nick".
