Morris "Moe" Berg (March 2, 1902, New York, New York - May 29, 1972, Belleville, New Jersey) was an American professional baseball player who later served as a spy for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II. Although he spent 15 seasons in Major League Baseball, Berg was never more than an average player, and was better known for being "the brainiest guy in baseball"than for anything he accomplished in the game. The Bergs were never religiously observant, although being Jewish did contribute to Moe's sense of being an outsider in mid-twentieth century America.Casey Stengel once described Berg as "the strangest man ever to play baseball." Morris "Moe" Berg (生於1902年3月2日紐約--卒於1972年5月29日新澤西) 是一位美國職業棒球員，而後於二戰期間在戰略行政部門當一位間諜。雖然他在MLB度過了15個球季，Berg的成績卻從未優於一般普通合格球員。比起他在球場的表現，相形之下更為人所知的是其"棒球界最聰明的人"此讚譽。Berg家族從未是虔誠篤信的，身為一位猶太人，Moe像是20世紀中葉美國的一名外來客。Casey Stengel曾經描述Berg為 "棒球界最奇特的人。" A graduate of Princeton University and Columbia Law School, Berg spoke several languages and regularly read 10 newspapers a day. His reputation was fueled by his successful appearances as a contestant on the radio quiz show Information, Please!. Berg answered questions about the derivation of words and names from Greek and Latin, historical events in Europe and the Far East, and ongoing international conferences. 作為一位普林斯頓大學和哥倫比亞法學院的畢業生，Berg可以說數種語言，另外每天讀10來份報紙。他在廣播測驗節目 "請回答?"中優異的表現使他聲名大噪。Berg 回答了有關於希臘和拉丁字彙詞的衍生和名字的來歷種種問題，還有歐洲和遠東的歷史事件，以及當時進行的國際會議。 As an agent of the United States government, Berg traveled to Yugoslavi gather intelligence on resistance groups the government was considering supporting. He was then sent on a mission to Italy, where he interviewed various physicists concerning the German nuclear program. After the war, Berg was occasionally employed by the OSS's successor, the Central Intelligence Agency, but was unemployed by the mid-1950s. He spent the last two decades of his life without work, living with various siblings. 身為美國政府的代理人，Berg為了獲取一些政府考慮資助的反抗團體情報，而旅行至南斯拉夫。隨後一份命令將他派遣至義大利，探訪各領域的物理學家有關於德國的核子計劃。在戰爭之後，Berg由OSS的後繼單位中央情報局間或聘雇，但在50年代中期是處於失業狀態。在他度過的最後二十年生命裡是沒有工作的，分別與不同的親人同居。 Spying for the U.S. Government 為美國政府偵察 With the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7,1941,the United States was thrust into World War II. To do his part for the war effort, Berg accepted a position with Nelson Rockefeller's Office of Inter-American Affairs on January 5, 1942. Nine days later, his father, Bernard, died.During the summer of 1942, Berg screened the footage he shot of Tokyo Bay for intelligence officers of the United States military. The film may or may not have helped Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle plan his famous Doolittle Raid. 在日本軍於1941年12月7日偷襲珍珠港後，美國被迫加了入第二次世界大戰。為了戰事盡份心力，Berg於1942年1月5日在 Nelson Rockefeller's美國事理部門任職。九天後，他的父親Bernard去世。1942 年的夏天期間，Berg為美軍情報官員偵查拍攝、測量東京灣的英呎長度。短片或許幫助了 Jimmy Doolittle中校計劃他的著名 Doolittle 突襲。 On August 2, 1943, Berg accepted a position with the Office of Strategi Services for a salary of $3,800 a year. In September, he was assigned to the Secret Intelligence branch of the OSS and given a place at the OSS Balkans desk. In this role, he parachuted into Yugoslavia to evaluate the various resistance groups operating against the Nazis to determine which was the strongest. He talked to both Draza Mihajlovic and Josip Broz and reviewed their forces, deciding that Josip Broz had the stronger and better supported group. His evaluations were used to help determine the amount of support and aid to give each group.In late 1943, Berg was assigned to Project Larson, an OSS operation set up by OSS Chief of Special Projects John Shaheen. The stated purpose of the project was to kidnap Italian rocket and missile specialists out of Italy and bring them to the U.S. However, there was another project hidden within Larson called Project AZUSA with the goal of interviewing Italian physicists to see what they knew about Werner Heisenberg and Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker. 在1943年8月2日，Berg在戰略行政機關任職，薪資一年$3,800。9月，被分配至 OSS的機密情報分部以及在 OSS巴爾幹辦公室得到了一個職位。對此任務，他跳傘進入南斯拉夫評估各類型反Nazi的抵抗團體，以確定其中何者是最有規模的。他與Draza Mihajlovic 還有 Josip Broz兩人分別商談以及探討他們的戰力，選定Josip Broz是較佳支持對象。他的評估協助分派各個團體的援助多寡。1943年末，Berg被指配至OSS主管John Shaheen 企劃的Larson行動：目的是綁架義境外的義籍火箭飛彈專家帶入美國。然而，在 Larson 行動內有一個隱藏計畫；名為AZUSA。目標是探訪義大利物理學家，看他們知道有什麼情報關於 Werner Heisenberg 和Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker。 From May to mid-December, Berg hopped around Europe interviewing physic and trying to convince several to leave Europe and work in America. At the beginning of December news about Heisenberg giving a lecture in Zurich, Switzerland reached the OSS, and Berg was assigned the task of attending the lecture and determining "if anything Heisenberg said convinced him the Germans were close to a bomb." If Berg came to the conclusion that the Germans were close, he had orders to shoot Heisenberg; Berg determined that the Germans were not close. During his time in Switzerland, Berg became close friends with the physicist Paul Scherrer. Berg returned to the United States on April 25, 1945, and resigned from the Strategic Services Unit, the successor to the OSS, in August. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom on October 10, but he rejected the award on December 2. His sister later accepted it on his behalf after he died. 自5月到12月中，Berg在歐洲各地探訪物理學家們；並設法說服其離開歐洲到美國研究。 12月初 OSS獲知 Heisenberg將在瑞士蘇黎士演講的消息，Berg則被指派參與聽講的任務；並且判定"Heisenberg的演說內容中是否使他確信德國已經接近完成核彈。" 如果Berg 得出此結論，他被授權命令槍殺Heisenberg；然而Berg確定答案是否定的。在他處於瑞士期間，Berg變成物理學家Paul Scherrer的好友。Berg在1945年4月25日返美，8月向OSS 的後者--戰略行政單位請辭。他在10月10日被授予了總統自由勛章，但他在12月2日婉拒此殊榮。後來他的姐妹於其亡故後，做為Berg的代表人接受了獎章。 After his playing career ended, Berg was a Boston Red Sox coach in 1940 and 1941. 在Berg結束球員生涯後，於1940、1941年擔任波士頓紅襪隊教練一職。後記﹕ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moe Berg 生涯待過 Brooklyn Robins (1) Chicago White Sox (5) Cleveland Indians (1) Washington Senators(3) 以及 Boston Red Sox (5) G H HR RBI BB SO SB AVG 663 441 6 206 78 113 11 .243 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2007/10/02 晨SD vs COL大概是我看過最精彩的比賽至於第2節08:10~09:00 行政學那是什麼東西可以吃嗎? 第3節09:10~10:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.123.236.210
