Prior to l947 when Jackie Robinson was introduced in the Brooklyn Dodgers- there were Negro Leagues- as Black players were not permitted to play in the majors. There were several outstanding American Indian ballplayers, however in the majors such as Chief Bender. The integration of Baseball- coupled with the wide distribution of television effectively clobbered any audience draw for the Negro Leagues- and by extension the Minor leagues as any serious spectator sport.
