It actually became quite popular in the early 30s during the depression because big league games cost too much. It was a way for small towns to get baseball and they even played night games before white baseball did. Here are some players you might want to look up who epitomized the negro leagues both on the level of legend/talent and frustration. Rube Foster Satchel Paige Josh Gibson "Cool Papa" Bell More or less, the biggest impact was hope and pride. In over 400 exhibition games between negro league teams and white teams, the negro league teams had a winning percentage over 60%. This lead to the realization by owners and managers that African Americans could play just as well if not better than the white players. The Negro leagues created the effort of MLB managers in trying to break the color barrier which eventually happened. The breaking of the color barrier in baseball was, in my opinion, more important than most of the events leading up to Martin Luther King...this might sound like its making a mountain out of a molehill but having seen a black player succeed in the major leagues showed that white people did not have the superiority that they claimed to have over African-americans. This probably was a cause that led to the increased sense of pride seen and resulting in the Civil Rights Movement.<br><b>References : </b><br> Huge impact.

So tell your teacher/professor that it's a stupid assignment.<br><b>References : </b><br> Not much of an impact at all or hard to say, since noone knows anything about any of the players and there is no real way of benchmarking their stats or abilities of the day that they played.
