NATIONAL BESTSELLERNow a major motion picture starring Paul Rudd“A delightful book that recounts one of the strangest episodes in the history of espionage. . . . . Relentlessly entertaining.”—The New York Times Book ReviewMoe Berg is the only major-league baseball player whose baseball card is on display at the headquarters of the CIA. For Berg was much more than a third-string catcher who played on several major league teams between 1923 and 1939. Educated at Princeton and the Sorbonne, he as reputed to speak a dozen languages (although it was also said he couldn't hit in any of them) and went on to become an OSS spy in Europe during World War II. As Nicholas Dawidoff follows Berg from his claustrophobic childhood through his glamorous (though equivocal) careers in sports and espionage and into the long, nomadic years during which he lived on the hospitality of such scattered acquaintances as Joe DiMaggio and Albert Einstein, he succeeds not only in establishing where Berg went, but who he was beneath his layers of carefully constructed cover. As engrossing as a novel by John le Carré, The Catcher Was a Spy is a triumphant work of historical and psychological detection.

I have heard about the great Moe Berg since I began reading about the history of baseball when I was 10 in 1959. When I learned about this book, I thought that it would be an excellent story. I was wrong. Not that the book was bad, the life was. Sadly, it seems that much of Mr. Berg's life was mediocre, at best. He was a major league ballplayer in an era when it was possible to stay in the majors as a second-string catcher if you doubled as what today is the bench coach. The fabled story of his spying for America during the baseball tour of Japan prior to World War II was dubious, at best. And, as a person Mr. Berg was really not very successful. Outside of one fairly brief relationship, it seems that he spent his life living off of other people's kindness. There remains many questions about his work with the OSS. Apparently, he felt that he was doing a great deal of spying, but the organization showed that he did very little, while running-up huge expenses. The book seemed to go on forever. Berg lived a sad life, with virtually no friends. I'm sorry that I read the book. The rumors were much better.
