William H. Tucker (baseball)

William H. Tucker (c. 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.

[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.

His father, Abraham W. Tucker, was named an honorary member of the Knickerbockers in 1846.
