Negro League baseball  

Definición

  • When major league baseball retired uniform “number 42” in 1997, it was to honor Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Black baseball players had been barred from organized leagues through de facto exclusion from the late 1800s until 1946. [Source: Encyclopedia of Race, Ethnicity, and Society; Negro League Baseball]
