| 释义 |
William H. Tucker (ca. 1819 – December 5, 1894) was an American baseball pioneer, who was a player and organizer with the New York Knickerbockers in the 1840s. On September 23, 1845, Tucker along with William Wheaton served on a committee which formalized the Knickerbocker's rules. He served as both club secretary and treasurer. [1] Historian John Thorn stated that Tucker, Wheaton, Doc Adams and Louis F. Wadsworth are four figures who can claim serious credit for the development of the sport. [2] Tucker worked as a tobacconist and died in Brooklyn at the home of his son-in-law. His father, Abraham W. Tucker, was named an honorary member of the Knickerbockers in 1846.
