What DBMS are you using? MSSQL, MYSQL, Access (bleeackk!), other? MSSQL uses single quotes in the WHERE clause. However, if you use cfqueryparam for all of your where clause pieces, single quotes in your strings should pass through in the database request just fine.
What is the data type of the BallCarrier column? Would cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" be more appropriate?
