Today I wrap up our salute to the military with the story of Mo Berg who might be the most interesting man in the history of baseball. 

Berg was fluent in seven languages and was familiar with another five. He played 16 years in the Major Leagues and traveled to Japan with a MLB All-Star team that included Babe Ruth and Lou Gerig. While there he snuck to the top of one of the tallest buildings in Tokyo and took pictures of the skyline, the harbor and a munitions facility. 

That is because Mo Berg became a spy while still playing baseball and he continued after his career. Listen to today’s short to hear about Berg's exploits and how he played a role in winning WWII.
