Moe Berg: The Catcher Who Came In From the Cold

If you want the full goods on Morris Berg, try here for starters.

Not a great catcher, but a decent spy and a first-rate patriot.

In 1934, five years before he retired as a player, Berg made his second trip to Japan as part of a traveling major league All-Star team. One might wonder what the seldom-used catcher, a .251 hitter that season, was doing playing with the likes of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

Berg, who spoke Japanese, took home movies of the Tokyo skyline that were used in the planning of General Jimmy Doolittle's 1942 bombing raids on the Japanese capital. The U.S. government wrote a letter to Berg, thanking him for the movies. Biographies, magazine articles and word of mouth have elevated this story into the stuff of legend.

Go to Don Myers for a thorough debunking of the Japanese Empire's supposed "sneak attack" plans for the US.

Nah. I have it on good authority that Michael Brown was the head of the La. nursing home system.

Everyone else reading this needs to stay off his site. I think it's a setup to harm conservatives. I read a couple of his posts. The down side is I lost several IQ points (which I didn't really have to spare). The upside is I think I'll take him up on his challenge to find the nude pictures of him he claims are out on the Internet. I think I'll start at moronswhof***chickens.org.

I've been reliably informed that senator Biden was seen sneaking out the back door with a pillow in his hand just as the water was coming up. Source suggests post mortems will indicate suffocation rather than drowning...

Moe Berg is just another example of the many courageous and dedicated Jewish Americans willing to do anything to defend the United States of America.

Posted by: NOTCedarford on September 13, 2005 11:00 PM

What was Berg's relationship with Anita Loos? I remember seeing photos of them together. He was so tall and she was so short. A bit of an odd couple but they seemed to be close friends.
