Judy Franks asked C.D. Reiss:

Not a question. Rather, a compliment. I just finished Hardball. I love baseball, and you did the sport justice. This was a great story and I appreciate that you provided an insight into the sport. Many authors attempt to write heroes as pro athletes and the sport is simply ignored. You gave us a great read. Thank you! Okay, I have to ask a question in order for this to show up. Are you a big fan of baseball?

C.D. Reiss Hey Judy,

Baseball is an old love of mine. It makes a big appearance in my Submission Series as well when Jonathan makes Monica explain the infield fly rule to gauge her authenticity, and takes her on a blimp-eye view of the playoffs and they talk about field position strategy (a metaphor for their relationship - but also because I love baseball)

I hope that answers the question and thank you so much for reading Hardball!
