Don't we need a catcher?

Not if you get it near the plate, we don't.

Ray I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
Shoeless Joe Getting thrown out of baseball was like having part of me amputated. I've heard that old men wake up and scratch itchy legs that have been dust for over fifty years. That was me. I'd wake up at night with the smell of the ball park in my nose, the cool of the grass on my feet... The thrill of the grass.
Shoeless Joe What's with the lights?
Ray Oh, all the stadiums have them now. Even Wrigley Field.
Shoeless Joe Makes it harder to see the ball.
Ray Yeah, well, the owners found that more people can attend night games.
Karin Kinsella Are you a ghost?
Shoeless Joe Jackson What do you think?
Karin You look real to me.
Shoeless Joe Well, then, I guess I'm real.
