Other than the more important remembrance of the day. Today is also the first official town ball game played by the Knickerbocker rules back in 1846. Today we call the game baseball. The New York Nine defeated the Knickerbockers 23-1
The Knickerbockers also were the first team to have a standard uniform. As baseball became more popular and professional the team went away in the 1870's.
More eagle-eyed members of the group maybe noticed the gif is from a Conan O'brien episode. Why, because why not.
Have a good one BackTalk!
