my new baseball hero

Moe Berg, Catcher (from 1923-1939)

"He was a master of twelve languages..., graduated from Princeton University and Columbia Law School, studied philology at the Sorbonne and was a spy for the United States government before and during World War II." - from Every Pitcher Tells a Story, by Seth Swirsky

And he was Jewish. Oh yeah, and he played baseball.

You can't get much cooler than that. He is so my hero.
