I had to put Moe and some of his stories in the "Odd Balls" chapter of my book. He did indeed read as many as a dozen newspapers a day, any cities or countries he could get his hands on. He wouldn't let anyone else touch them until he had read them himself - he considered the paper "live" and when he finish the paper was "dead" and anyone was free to take it. My favorite story about Berg is as he lay dying in an New jersey hospital bed, his last words were "how did the Mets do today?"
