We prove that the open unit disc Delta in C satisfies the ball embedding property in C(2); i.e., given any discrete set of discs in C(2) there exists a proper holomorphic embedding Delta hooked right arrow C(2) which passes arbitrarily close to the discs. It is already known that C does not satisfy the ball embedding property in C(2) and that Delta satisfies the ball embedding property in C(n) for n > 2.
