Jackie Robinson was an American professional baseball player who became the first African American to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the modern era. Robinson broke the baseball color line when he started at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. When the Dodgers signed Robinson, they heralded the end of racial segregation in professional baseball that had relegated black players to the Negro leagues since the 1880s. Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.

Tribute...African-American moments in MLB history (15 person items)" 1947: Jackie Robinson breaks the color barrierThe most egregious case of collusion in the history of sports was Major League Baseball’s "gentlemen’s agreement" among owners to exclude players of African descent from the game.
