On several occasions, Moe (who was 42 years old in 1944) is shown running fast and even outrunning men who were less than half his age. In fact, Moe Berg was infamous for being an extremely slow runner. He had a relatively low career batting average (0.243) and it was joked at the time that "He could speak 12 languages but couldn't hit in any of them." However, his low batting average was not because he failed to make contact with the ball - he frequently did; his problem was that he was so slow that on ground balls he could not beat the throw to first base.
