And you *obviously* didn't read the author notes, because I totally disclaimed what liberties I took with the games and such (though re: the Sweeney thing, I feel like an idiot, because I saw Sweeney and assumed Mike, not even paying attention to the fact that it was R. Sweeney, haha) (I will probably go fix that eventually). Gwinnett is probably the only minor league stat/info I *didn't* double-check. I knew I should have had you proofread it for me! ;-P
I loooove what you did with the quotes and how you started with "legitimate" ones and mixed them with ones of unknown players or fans or friends.
You know, I didn't even really notice that I started with more legitimate quotes and devolved into fans. I actually chose most of the quotes before I started writing, and it was really cool to see how the story fitted itself into the quotes I was using (and vice versa).
I'm really glad you like this, because it's the baseball fans I'm most worried about! I mean, I get cranky when people get it wrong, so I was determined to get it as right as possible. (And now I'm gonna go fix the Mike Sweeney thing, haha).
