Initially the name of the first organized baseball team in America (1845). Dutch settlers coined the term “Knickerbockers” during the 1600s. Many of them settled in NY, and the famous cartoon of “Father Knickerbocker” was born, to still be part of New England culture today. Easy to guess now what the next team could be.
