The catcher was a spy

[Brooklyn]

Did anyone ever see a movie about a Boston Red Sox catcher (with a PHD in physics) who worked for OSS during WWII? I couldn't believe it was based on a true story until I did some checking--and it was (truth really is stranger than fiction sometimes.)

Don't think I have seen that movie, sounds interesting

The movie starred Paul Rudd as Boston Red Sox pitcher Moe Berg, and I thought it was pretty good, has anyone seen it?

Is there some sort of connection to Holden Caufield and “The Catcher In the Rye”?
