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.
While there were a few black players in the late 1800s, there was an unwritten ban at the start of the 20th century. It was broken by Jackie Robinson, the first black pro baseball player in 1947 when he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
