==Career==
Ballard joined ''Sports Illustrated'' in September 2000 after working as a sports journalist at the Courier-Post in Camden, New Jersey.〔(Chris Ballard at Sports Illustrated )〕 His 2012 book, ''One Shot at Forever: A Small Town, an Unlikely Coach, and a Magical Baseball Season'' chronicles the story of the baseball team at Meridian High School in Macon, Illinois during its improbable run to the 1971 Illinois state baseball championship tournament. In the October 22, 2012 edition of Sports Illustrated, Ballard wrote a feature article that once again focused on a small town high school baseball team and in particular, the coach, David Warrenfeltz. The story described events that affected the Williamsport, Maryland team in early 2012 when the team’s star pitcher and his girlfriend were killed in an automobile accident.〔McMillion, David (May 6, 2012) "Two Williamsport High School Athletes Killed in Wreck on Rench Road - Brendon Edward Colliflower and Samantha Rae Kelly Were Returning From Prom" Herald-Mail Tri-State News ()〕 Despite the loss, the team rallied around its coach and proceeded to win the Maryland state high school championship. The 25-year-old Warrenfeltz was also a close friend and Williamsport High School teammate of former Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart who was killed in an auto accident in 2009.〔Ballard, Chris (October 22, 2012) "Morning Glory" Sports Illustrated, pages 57-68〕
Ballard has also written feature articles for ''USA Today'' and the ''New York Times''. Ballard graduated from Pomona College and currently resides in Berkeley, California with his wife and children.
