The Catcher Was a Spy

Moe Berg was an attorney, a star college shortstop, a major league catcher, a spy for the United States during the second world war, and a professional vagabond intellectual. If this story were not true, it would be bad fiction!

I'd seen this title on B. Dalton's sports shelf many times but never picked it up until a co-worker mentioned that he attended a World Series game (1968? I don't remember) as Moe Berg's guest. Don't you wait for a colleague to reveal their connection to the spy catcher, buy it today and read it immediately.

Flags of our Fathers

We still haven't seen the film (52 of 452 holds on 80 copies!), but I can't imagine it being more powerful than the book.
