Moses Fleetwood Walker played the 1884 season with the Toledo Blue Stockings, which was part of the American Association -- then a major league. Walker continued to play minor league ball until 1890, when African-Americans were, officially and unofficially, banned from playing on any team with white players. Jackie Robinson ended this moratorium in 1947.
