The people who make this possible share few distinguishing characteristics but bilingualism and a love for the sport. They are washed-out ex-athletes or onetime megafans who made their way into pro clubhouses doggedly or accidentally. They work across rosters—as Spanish interpreters have since MLB started requiring them in 2016, at the behest of a coalition of players tired of the once-customary practice of asking this or that coach or teammate to translate part-time—or one-on-one, as is usually the case with the smaller number of players from Asian countries. The role is not particularly sought after; there is no horde of econ-degree Ivy Leaguers chasing it, as with almost every other front-office posting. But interpreters know two things better than anyone else. First, that as much as baseball is a game of skill or strength, it is a game of speech. And second, that the work of finding the right word doesn’t stop when the talking does.

[hands him torn vespa pic] the next time that, that you jump off a cliff, or tell bruno to quit bothering you, that's me. but. how am i gonna know you're okay? [cries, hugs. he hugs back] you got me off the island, luca. i'm okay. train starts to leave. [something] seriously, what does that mean? go find out for me, okay? [runs as far as he can] go! go luca! yeah! whoo hoo

being back in this house is just making me remember that i always felt really, really lonely here. i think that's why i started doing comedy in the first place. because it was just a way of making me feel connected to people who thought about things the way i did. but now i'm just like, maybe i shouldn't shape my entire existence around a response to a shitty childhood. it's not a very good reason to pursue a career. i don't know if that's true. i mean, what's a good reason to pursue any career?
