I enjoyed the Greatest Athletes article, and I truly understand the challenge of narrowing the field down to 25. But what about Moe Berg, Class of 1923? He had a notable career as a Princeton baseball player and then went on to be known as the “brainiest guy in baseball,” so clever on defense that teams could afford to live with his very weak batting average. Plus, he became a useful spy for the U.S.A. He is certainly one of the many remarkable athletes that Princeton University can be proud of.
