Abstract

In the beginning, baseball was considered a "gentlemen's game," with the majority of the leagues containing only white men. Very few black men played in the International League. A man named Cap Anson got blacks banned from major league. He refused to play with any team that had a black man on it. Following the 1887 season, Jim Crow laws were put into place, and it would be almost sixty years before another black man would play professional baseball in the major leagues (Tygiel 10).
