I spent my formative years in Philadelphia where I fell in love with baseball and the Phillies. I attended Rutgers College, got an MAT in teaching and spent three years in Glen Ridge and Cherry Hill N.J. teaching high school While at Cherry Hill East, I wrote a curriculum guide for a new course called Human Behavioral Patterns that combined sociology, social psychology and psychology..I then decided to follow my father's unfulfilled dream, and went to law school. I was a Camden County Prosecutor for 30 years in NJ. I prosecuted literally thousands of cases and 25 homicide trials. One was covered in its entirety on one of the earliest Court TV shows. I followed that up with six years as a criminal defense lawyer. I was able to get a persepctive from both sides of the courtroom aisle.I was inspired to write a novel that combined my two passions, baseball and the law. I have been a Phillies fan all of my life.  I grew concerned about the growing hostile feelings between the Mets and the Phillies between 2006 through 2010.   I began to wonder after one particular game in 2010 whether retaliation could take the form of a potentially serious beanball. My legal mind wondered about whether and how the legal system would concern itself if an incident occurred. This motivated me to write a novel.
