What year was baseball desegregated?

Answer 1

In particular, there was no rule or law that stated blacks could not play in the major leagues. It was just a gentlemens' agreement-- an unwritten, unenforced rule that no one dared to challenge. 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. Even during the 1974 offseason before Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record, Aaron received several death threats from those who did not want to see a black man break Babe Ruth's record.
