What year was baseball desegregated?
In particular, there was no rule or law that stated blacks could not play in the major leagues. It was just a gentlemens' agreement-- an unwritten, unenforced rule that no one dared to challenge. For a short time in the late 19th century, blacks did play in the majors, but this did not last long.
The most prominent step in desegregating baseball was the signing of Jackie Robinson in 1947. 1947 was considered the breakthrough year for baseball. Before then, blacks could only play in unorganized Negro Leagues (their words, not mine). Remember that it took quite some time for the social changes to sink in. Even during the 1974 offseason before Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record, Aaron received several death threats from those who did not want to see a black man break Babe Ruth's record.

If a pitcher leaves a tie game after finishing the 8th inning he cannot get the loss. If his team takes the lead before another pitcher on his team throws a pitch he could be credited with the win. For example, if a pitcher finishes the bottom of the 8th with a tie score and his team takes the lead in the top of the 9th and they keep the lead in the bottom of the ninth, he gets the win. If his replacement throws a pitch in the bottom of the 9th with the score still tied, the pitcher that left after the 8th inning gets a "no decision". If his team takes the lead in the top of the ninth, but they cannot hold the lead in the bottom of the ninth (another tie or loss) the pitcher that finished the 8th inning gets a "no decision". The final win will go to the "pitcher of record" when the winning run is finally scored (even if he only faced the last batter of the inning before the winning run is scored). The pitcher that gives up the winning run gets the loss.
