Jackie Robinson
In 1947 Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball and was the first African American to play major league baseball. A member of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Robinson was the first African American to break a record in the Negro league and was one of the best African-American baseball players in history (even though in college, baseball had been his 'worst sport'). Robinson also won an NCAA Championship in the long jump at UCLA in 1940.
Jackie Robinson was the first African American to play Major League Baseball. His parents were Jerry and Mallie Robinson. His mother's maiden name was McGriff.
The first African-American President of an Ivy League Institution was Ruth J. Simmons. Simmons became the 18th president of Brown University in 2001, and still holds this position today.

Yes. In the early 1990s the American Women's Baseball League (AWBL) was formed and continues today. In 1994, the Womens National Adult Baseball Association formed. In 1997, the Ladies League Baseball was formed, which became the first Womens Professional Baseball League since the All American Girls Professional League, but folded a year later due to lack of attendance.
