Negro League
African-Americans began to play baseball
in the late 1800s on military teams, college teams, and company teams.
They eventually found their way to professional teams with white
players. Moses Fleetwood Walker and Bud Fowler were among the first to
participate. However, racism and “Jim Crow” laws would force them from
these teams by 1900. Thus, black players formed their own units,
“barnstorming” around the country to play anyone who would challenge
them.
In 1920, an organized league structure was formed under the guidance of
Andrew “Rube” Foster—a former player, manager, and owner for the Chicago
American Giants. In a meeting held at the Paseo YMCA in Kansas City,
Mo., Foster and a few other Midwestern team owners joined to form the
Negro National League. Soon, rival leagues formed in Eastern and
Southern states, bringing the thrills and innovative play of black
baseball to major urban centers and rural country sides in the U.S.,
Canada, and Latin America. The Leagues maintained a high level of
professional skill and became centerpieces for economic development in
many black communities.
In 1945, Major League Baseball’s Brooklyn Dodgers recruited Jackie
Robinson from the Kansas City Monarchs. Robinson now becomes the first
African-American in the modern era to play on a Major League roster.
While this historic event was a key moment in baseball and civil rights
history, it prompted the decline of the Negro Leagues. The best black
players were now recruited for the Major Leagues, and black fans
followed.
The last Negro Leagues teams folded in the early 1960s, but their legacy
lives on through the surviving players and the Negro Leagues Baseball
Museum.
