Thanks for sharing. I wasn't really aware of Clyde Sukforth's involvement with Jackie Robinson until I watched the movie 42. Time has a way of erasing history but I am glad some still help make us remember.

I was aware of his relations with Jackie and Clemente, but great story!

Thanks for sharing
To see his neat signature, here is a copy of his signed 1952 topps card
