Leave It On The Field - Donna Schwartze

Sophie

When I met Seb, my life changed completely-mostly for the better. When we're alone, it's magical. He's the most loving, attentive man in the world. Unfortunately part of being married to a famous man is having everyone in your business. It wasn't too bad at first, but now there's someone on social media telling the world about the most private parts of our lives. Everyone's talking about it. And now I can't go anywhere without being recognized. It's exhausting, and honestly, I'm not sure how much longer I can take it.

Seb

For me, the worst part about being a professional athlete is the fame. Hands down. Nothing else even comes close. I'm a quiet guy. I'm even a little bit shy. The attention is overwhelming at times, but I deal with it because it's part of my job description. But now my fame is affecting Sophie. People are starting to harass her. And that can't happen. She's more important to me than anything-baseball included. I've told her I'll quit playing the second she tells me it's too much-that very second. Even if it's in the middle of the World Series.

Contains mature themes.
