He wasn’t a Hall of Famer. He barely hit .243. But he spoke 7 languages, filmed Tokyo in disguise, and carried a gun to a Nazi scientist’s lecture with orders to pull the trigger. The strangest man in baseball… might have saved the world.

Yogi Berra on Moe Berg: The guy spoke seven languages and couldn't hit in any of them.

Episode 49: The Catcher Was a Spy

Happy Friday! This week... Eesh. We really wanted to enjoy this one. The Catcher Was a Spy is a movie about the wildly fascinating American baseball player-turned-spy Moe Berg. It stars Paul Rudd, which Maartje, in particular, was quite excited about until she realised he plays himself. Oh well. Can't all be winners. Batter up! Listen to our episode here.

Find out more background, like our book rec, here.
