Yes, until Branch Rickey found Jacky Robinson. He started playing with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946.

Actually, Robinson played the 1946 season with the Dodgers' Montreal farm club in the AAA International League. He joined the Dodgers for the 1947 season.

Both leagues have the option to use that rule if they want to, but it is not mandatory for any league to use it in any game.


Why are baseballs only used for 4-5pitches in each game?

In major leagues this is the case because the batters hit a lot of foul balls into the stands. Also, whenever the ball touches the ground, catchers ask for a new ball because the ball is scuffed. A scuffed ball might affect the outcome of a pitch in the major leagues.
