The "color barrier" WAS an unofficial rule that no blacks could play for a Major League Baseball team. Several blacks played on minor league teams in the 1880s and one, Moses Walker, played on the Toledo Blue Stockings in 1884. In that year, Adrian "Cap" Anson refused to play his team against Toledo when Walker was on it. By 1890, official and unofficial rules against blacks were in effect in all MLB teams.

For a short time in the late 19th century, blacks did play in the majors, but this did not last long.The most prominent step in desegregating baseball was the signing of Jackie Robinson in 1947. 1947 was considered the breakthrough year for baseball. Before then, blacks could only play in unorganized Negro Leagues (their words, not mine). Remember that it took quite some time for the social changes to sink in.
