- Nebraska State League
-
The Nebraska State League (NSL) was an American professional baseball league with five incarnations. At least, the name was adopted five times: in 1892, from 1910 to 1915, from 1922 to 1923, from 1928 to 1938 and from 1956 to 1959.
The first NSL is fairly well known because it was racially integrated.[citation needed] The last Nebraska State League of 1956–1959 was stable largely because its clubs were farm teams for the major leagues. Its final season has become well-known thanks to the book A False Spring by Pat Jordan.
Once a classification system was put in place, the Nebraska State League was always ranked as a class D league.[clarification needed]
1892
The first Nebraska State League was racially integrated with African-American players on at least three teams: Bud Fowler, Kearney; John W. Patterson, Plattsmouth; and George Taylor, Beatrice.
(The NSL president is unknown.)
