In 1871 the National Association became
the first professional baseball league, and the National League was
later founded in 1876. The American League was originated in 1901 from
the Western League and was the only ' other ' major league, of several
that were formed, that survived. A so-called ' gentleman's agreement '
in about 1894 barred African American players from playing in the
Leagues which resulted in the formation of the Negro Leagues. Jackie
Robinson was the first to put a dent in this agreement, being signed by
the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946 and being assigned to it's Montreal minor
league team of the International League.
