Is this heaven? No, it's North Carolina.

In keeping with the theme of celebrity-named players, today we'll take a look at none other than Ray Liotta. Not the guy who played Shoeless Joe in "Field of Dreams," but his distant cousin, a 26-year-old pitcher from Louisiana.

According to the player himself, he and the actor actually are related, albeit tenuously. Baseball folks were high on Liotta for his own talents back in 2006, but he hasn't done much since then. Now pitching for the Wilmington Blue Rocks, a Kansas City Royals affiliate in the single-A Carolina League, the former prospect hasn't made it past AA.

Of course, if Ray Liotta plays for the Royals and nobody is around, does his fastball make noise?
