Nebraska State League

The Nebraska State League 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. 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.

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.
