London King: Buck Bokai
The London Kings were a professional baseball team that played on Earth in the 21st century. They were a Major League baseball team as early as 2015, and a part of the Planetary Baseball League by 2025. (DS9 Season 1 production art)
In 2015, rookie Buck Bokai joined as shortstop, and bolstered the Kings' performance that year. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part II")
In 2025, they once again acquired Bokai from Seibu as the third baseman. He was the Planetary League's greatest hitter for 2025 and 2026. In 2026, Bokai broke Joe DiMaggio's consecutive hitting record. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye"; DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses"; DS9 Season 1 production art)
Bokai would stay with the Kings for seventeen years, leading them to the World Series at least twice, in 2032 and 2042. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses"; VOY: "One Small Step")

Background Information
It is unknown if the team was based out of London in the United Kingdom or based out of London, Ontario, Canada. Currently, all Major League Baseball teams are based from North America, making the latter more likely. It is, however, possible that baseball becomes a more global game in Star Trek, given that the Kings play in the Planetary Baseball League.
In real life, the home baseball team of London UK is known as the London Warriors.
