Random Negro League Baseball Teams (159 items)report

About This Tool

After World War II, many Americans still believe that people of different races should not mix together. In some parts of the country, blacks and whites live in different areas and attend different schools. Blacks who tried to change the system were at risk of being beaten or killed. Blacks are not allowed to play on professional baseball teams or other major leagues. No Negro has played in a major league baseball team since 1884. That year, the American Baseball Association agreed to ban blacks from the game. That began to change when Jecky Robinson, North Dakota played his first game for the Brooklyn dodgers on April 15,1947.

In 1945, there weren’t many jobs for black people, even if they had gone to college. Walter S. Robertson wants to play professional baseball. However, blacks are not allowed to play in the major leagues. So, he decided to join the Negro Baseball League. The Negro League was founded in the 1920s to give blacks a place to play baseball. The random tool generated 159 Negro League baseball teams, many of which were reorganized or relocated. If you’ve been keeping track of this information, random tools can be very helpful.
