I sometimes wish we could still use them.

A buddy of mine facing a similar situation in a rec league game went to the dugout and inquired about the possibility of a new catcher. He was told that the two regular catchers were not there and this one was the only player that would volunteer to catch.
He solved the issue by borrowing a spare mitt from the dugout and using it behind the plate to defend himself.
