Arthur Mann collected signatures from Jackie Robinson
and other cast members on the cover of the script on which he
had sketched profiles of Branch Rickey and Clyde Sukeforth. Mann
was an author and journalist who served as Branch Rickey's assistant
while Rickey was General Manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Mann,
along with Lawrence Taylor, wrote the script for the 1950 feature
film starring Jackie Robinson playing himself in the title role.
