Moe Berg died  today in 1972. Do you know who he was?

Quite possibly the smartest man to ever put on a baseball uniform, he was rumored to speak 7 diofferent languages. He also served as a spy during WWII.

"Moe (Berg), I don't care how many of them college degrees you got. They ain't learned you to hit that curveball no better than me." - White Sox Catcher Buck Crouse in Baseball Digest

 

Interesting to see what skills translate where. Valuable as a baseball player to the federal government to spy, and just good enough to play baseball. What an interesting skill set....the quintessential "Good field, no hit."

Be yourself

"Connie Marrero had a windup that looked like a cross between a windmill gone berserk and a mallard duck trying to fly backwards." - Felipe Alou

Everyone is an individual. Don't let anyone try to change who you are. Your style is yours, stick with the genuine you and you will be more effective.
