| Paul Nichols was the graphic artist who came up with the Bank of America slogan and design,"Think of it as money." When Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record the sign displayed in left field where the home run cleared the fence was that of Paul Nichols of the 1948 Independence, Kansas Yankees. |

| At the time Hank Aaron was chasing the Babe's record, Wayland Moore, an internationally know sports artists was working with Paul at Design Studios in Atlanta. At this time in history Wayland Moore was art director for the Braves. Above, Paul Nichols holds the autographed copy of the Burger King advertisement that was signed and given him by Mr. Moore prior to the breaking of the record. |
| PauPaul shared his feelings with the KOM League website in these words: "It is a very interesting story in my life to have a chain of events come about. I had the Aaron Chases the Babe art before he broke the record. I developed the fence design with no thought in mind the 714th ball would go over it, and break the Babe's record. And it all happened to an old minor league ballplayer who once played in the KOM League." Paul Nichols. |
