"They say catchers are the smartest players on the field, but they're also the dumbest. Who else would be willing to take the risk that we take? At what other position is it legal to get steamrolled by a guy who has a 60-foot running start, the catcher has to hold on to the ball, then has to go back behind the plate and make sure he doesn't screw up the scouting report?" - John Baker on ESPN.com (Tim Kurkjian, 05/28/2010, 'Catchers just don't miss a beat')
