[edit] Jewish

Berg wasn't particularly observant, so I'm considering deleting Jewish from the page, or at least moving it out of the first paragraph. Any comments?

SeanO 12:58 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Was he Jew of religion or race? Thats the question. If he was Jew of race then the word Jewish should not be removed.

Antonio Jews are Hot Martin

According to his most recent biography, he was not religiously observant, but there were a few times when being Jewish affected people's reactions to him, and a few times when he commented on how it helped him maintain the sense of being an outsider in mid-20th-century America.

[edit] SeanO

SeanO, Thanks for catching the Powers, not Harris mistake. I was confusing Thomases. ww 17:26, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

My pleasure. When I see something cool added to pages on my Watchlist, I look it up too. Sometimes it results in finding new stuff... Collaboration, eh? --SeanO 01:10, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)

Just noticed your comment. Yup. WP is fascinating... when it's not maddening! I'm just about to add a comment about ALSOS and Berg in it, particularly in Italy. Hope you approve. ww 18:48, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] White Sox

From The Catcher Was a Spy - "... the International League had ever done that. The Chicago Cubs offered Reading $25,000 for him. Chicago's South Side franchise, the White Sox, however, had earlier contracted with Reading for a $6,000 option on Berg, which they exercised. Berg finished the season with ..."

[edit] Rejected

Information needs to be added on why he rejected the medal of freedom (if known) Nil Einne 16:32, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Doolittle raid

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. Regarding this entry, The Doolittle raid was in April of 1942, so if Berg really didn't show it until the summer, it could have had no effect on the raid. If the summer date is certain, this part should be removed from the article. --Blainster 03:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Sox Coach

Needs to be straightened out. The article has, After retiring as a player, Berg spent one year as the bullpen coach for the Red Sox in 1940.[citation needed]

This source differs: http://espn.go.com/classic/biography/s/Berg_Moe.html

I cut this for now, as it was the last issue on the FAR.

" After retiring as a player, Berg spent one year as the bullpen coach for the Red Sox in 1940.^{[citation needed]}" Marskell 09:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revert?

Anyone know why the last version was reverted Long levi 06:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

If it is my reversion of Tecmo, that was done because he had deleted good links. He has just been banned from Wiki indefinitely for that activity here and elsewhere.--Epeefleche 16:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

• Most of those links were not in the version that was reviewed during the FA process. I have to think that they should be removed again. Why do they belong? Long levi 23:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Articles, FA or not, are certainly not static on Wikipedia, so their prior absence is not a reason for removal. There is discussion on the Wikiproject baseball page of some such ELs, such as Fangraphs. Which do you think do not belong, and why?--Epeefleche 02:40, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

• Long levi Banned. FYI, Longlevi has just been found to be a sockpuppet of the banned user named Tecmobowl, who has used socks in the past. Accordingly, he has also been banned indefinitely. See [1]--Epeefleche 00:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
