| 词汇 | nine |
| 词源 | nine. Nine is obviously a synonym for a baseball team be- cause that’s the number of players on a team. But the first re- corded use of the word nine in this sense is in the name of a team called the New York Nine, which played against the New York Knickerbockers Ball Club in 1846. Thus the term nine may derive from the name of a specific team. |
