Moe Berg. the erudite and mysterious third-string catcher for 5 teams in the '30s & '40s who was in reality an undercover spy in WWII gathering atomic secrets of the Germans, went to his grave in 1972 without telling his story, leaving him the subject of great fascination and speculation. "My Brother Morris Berg: The Real Moe", written by his sister Ethel Berg in 1975, filled in some gaps by presenting some of his letters and documents. This copy of the 336-page book is signed by the author inside the front cover in blue ink, grading a 9/10. 8 x 11" book has damage and tape repair mainly on the spine but is quite a rarity, VG.
