Nicholas Efram Young (September 12 1840 - October 31 1916) was an American executive, manager and umpire in professional baseball who served as president of the National League from 1885 to 1902. Born in Amsterdam, New York at Johnson Hall, the estate of Sir William Johnson, he served in the Union Army during the Civil War, and later was employed in the U.S. Treasury Department. Young, an excellent cricket player as a young man, became a right fielder and official with a Washington, D.C. amateur baseball club. In 1871, he organized the meeting which resulted in the formation of the sport's first professional league, the National Association of Professional Baseball Players; he was named league secretary, managed the Washington team from 1871-1873, and also served as a league umpire.

When the National League, baseball's first major league, was formed in 1876, Young was named secretary and treasurer, posts he continued to hold until leaving office as president in 1902. Although well-liked, his tenure was marked by a tendency to acquiesce to the desires of the most powerful NL owners; league play in the 1890s increasingly tended toward rowdyism and violence on the field, and labor disputes resulted in the single year of the Players League. Young also oversaw the NL's merger with the American Association after the 1891 season. When the American League claimed major league status in 1901, many star players and top umpires jumped to the new league after tiring of the NL's style. Resulting disputes between NL owners necessitated a change at the league level, and both Young and rival candidate Albert Spalding had to withdraw their names from consideration in the contest for the presidency. Young returned to his post with the Treasury Department; he died at age 76 in Washington.

Nicholas Young was a sailor on Captain James Cook's ship in his first voyage. He was eleven years old when the ship left England on August 26, 1768. Nicholas Young sighted New Zealand on October 7, 1769. Captain James Cook named the place Young Nick's Head after Nick. Nicholas must have been well educated because he once wrote in John Bootie's journal,"Evil communications corrupt good" and signed his name below bravely.

Later Nick went on another voyage with Joseph Banks, a trip to Iceland in 1772.

Nicholas Young (born March 3 1982 in Pembroke, Ontario) is a Canadian figure skater. He was the 2000 Canadian Junior National Champion.

Educated at public school, Nicholas Young was already in his early 20s when he auditioned for the role of "John" in "The Tomorrow People". Prior to landing the role, he appeared in The Children's Film Foundation production Eagle Rock, the little remembered television series The Flying Swan and Front Page Story, and a one-off television play, The Connoisseur, directed by Waris Hussien (whose credits include the first ever Dr. Who). In addition, while working on The Tomorrow People he featured in the two-part Space 1999 story The Bringers of Wonder (the first broadcast on August 4, 1977) as Peter Rockwell and, in the same year, played alongside Jon Pertwee (the 3rd incarnation of Dr. Who) as a young gangster called Legs Luigi in the film Adventures of a Private Eye. Young was the only cast member to stay with the series for its entire 6 year run. After its conclusion in 1979, he appeared in numerous other programs, perhaps most famously as a Jeremy Beadle stooge in over 40 sketches for Game for a Laugh and Beadle's About. More recently, he has worked as a theatrical agent, representing, amoung others, Philip Gilbert. The two were reunited once again in 2001, as they reprised their roles as John and TIM for the new Tomorrow People audio adventures released by Big Finish Productions.
