B Block Book Club: The Catcher Was A Spy Part II
In their second episode on the story of Moe Berg, "The Catcher Was a Spy," by Nicholas Dawidoff, Joel and Sam discuss Berg's life after the MLB, working for the OSS during World War II. We talk about Berg's impatience with working a desk in Washington, D.C., his role in introducing baseball to hold up U.S. allies in the Caribbean, and, finally, his work as a spy for the allies investigating the Nazi regime's ability to build a nuclear bomb.\n\nFollow us on social!\n\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/dumpontheump/\nTwitter: twitter.com/DumpOnTheUmp\nWordpress: dumpontheump.wordpress.com\nApple iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dump\u2026mp/id1107407433\nSoundcloud: @umpnhemp
