Moses Fleetwood Walker played on an major league integrated team, the Toledo Blue Stockings of the American Association, in 1884. Over the next few years, about a dozen blacks played minor league ball. An ban on such players -- sometimes unofficial, sometimes explicit -- began about 1890. Professional teams, and later professional leagues, consisting solely of blacks began soon afterwards. The first black baseball player in MLB after that was Jackie Robinson, in 1947.
