Great movie on Moe Berg's life called The Catcher Was a Spy which I viewed on a Transpacific flight in March.

The fellow was incredibly brainy!

Great Moe Berg story that was not in the movie:

In 1960 a publisher wanted to print his memoirs. They sent a ghostwriter to his house to begin gathering his stories.

The ghostwriter showed up thinking that he was going to be working with Moe Howard of The Three Stooges.

This apparently enraged Berg who threw him out of the house and canceled the book deal. His memoirs were never published.
