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.
