The Royals are most famous as the top farm club (Class AAA beginning in 1946) of the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1939 to 1960. The team holds a unique place in baseball history as being the first major-league affiliate to break the so-called "baseball color barrier", when the Brooklyn general manager and part-owner, Branch Rickey, signed Jackie Robinson, an African-American, on October 23, 1945. Robinson played with the Royals during the 1946 season)
