In the article explaining who Moses Fleetwood Walker was it was mentioned that Cap Anson of the Chicago White Stockings pushed the blacks out of Major League baseball in 1887. Of course this is the team that is today known as the Chicago Cubs. The modern day White Sox were founded in 1901 with the other original American League clubs. Cap Anson was the Chicago Cubs for many years, in many capacities. During the years that he was there, there was no better team in baseball. It is easy to see how he could sway the fans and the leagues to do the awful thing of excluding blacks. Today, it is easy to see how wrong he was.
