In this Veterans Day episode of Rounding Third, Peter Lemieux from BadderSports shares the incredible story of Moe Berg — a Major League Baseball catcher, Ivy League graduate, and multilingual genius who secretly served the United States as a spy during World War II.
Berg’s story bridges two worlds: the ballpark and the battlefield. From catching knuckleballs for the Chicago White Sox to filming the skyline of Tokyo and reporting on Germany’s nuclear progress, Moe Berg’s intelligence and courage left a lasting mark on both baseball and American history.
This story honors not only Berg, but every veteran who has given part or all of their lives to defend freedom.
