Brucelli and the Old Professor: Anatomy of a Miracle is a story of a dedicated couple, a classic blunder, and redemption set in a world of less than honorable legal professionals who become enwrapped in a baseball controversy. With a flick of the tongue, friction occurs, and the verbal spark leaps from alarm to tinder. The seemingly insignificant extinguishable verbal gaffe starts to grow. Fueled by mean-spirited antagonists and pervasive hot air, the unwise avowal escalates into a fully-fledged fire. Eventually, it consumes the initiator of the spark. On October 28, 2004, at 9:46 a.m., eastern daylight time, a living legal allstar comes close to committing occupational suicide. This novel is a combination of courage and integrity, overcoming the intimidation of an icon and his brainless followers. Although a baseball issue promulgates the plot, Brucelli and the Old Professor: Anatomy of a Miracle is not a sports novel per se.
