US-BASEBALL-SERIES-HISTORY-FILES
(FILES) In this April 8, 1999 file photo, baseball great Hank Aaron waves to the crowd during a ceremony that unveiled the Hank Aaron Award on the 25th anniversary of his historic 755th home run before the start of the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies game at Turner Field in Atlanta, Georgia. The San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals -- who are battling for this year's World Series title -- have rosters featuring whites, blacks, Latinos and Asians. But multi-cultural squads were not always the norm. Just down the highway from where the Major League Baseball champion will be crowned this week, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum tells a different story -- one of segregation and struggle. While some black players -- like Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in 1947 with the then-Brooklyn Dodgers -- rose to the sport's highest heights, others never made it to the big leagues.
