  • The Negro Baseball Leagues the Women's Professional Baseball Leagues Some of the Greatest Negro League Players the Last Man To
    The Negro Baseball Leagues The Women’s Professional Baseball Leagues Some of the Greatest Negro League Players The Last Man to Bat .400 in an American Professional Baseball League The Last Person to bat .400 in an American Professional Baseball League The First African American Players to Join Each Major League Team Women Offered Minor League Contracts Chapter 16 The interesting facts for Chapter 16 are dedicated to two populations excluded from playing in the Major Leagues. African American players were excluded until 1947. At one time the population of women was excluded from the Major Leagues. Today, even though there are no women in the Major Leagues, they are not excluded officially anymore. Other Professional American Baseball Leagues This entire section is devoted to two other professional baseball leagues, the Negro Baseball Leagues and the Women’s Professional Baseball League. These leagues were established because their players were excluded from the Major Leagues. For the Negro Leagues, the baseball statistics of the players were not kept accurately. Records were not kept of all Negro League games because the media paid little attention to them. Several black newspapers did make an attempt to keep records. However, when these newspapers went out of business their records were destroyed or lost much of the time. Many times the teams in the Negro Leagues would play games against teams outside their league. The statistics kept were cumulative and involved both league games and non-league games. After Jackie Robinson entered the Major Leagues in 1947, the statistics were kept more accurately because the leagues wanted to sell their players’ contracts to the Major Leagues.
