Assuming Ben Affleck doesn't blow it up first, of course. After last night's amazing game (my favorite part: The look on Sciosa's face after that blown strike call in the ninth inning), Soxaholix tallies up all the elements that would make for a good Brown novel, including:
... And, of course, let us not forget Brown's favorite stock antagonist - the vaguely foreign narcissist with an awesomely sculpted body and bizarre sexual fetish that eventually leads to his downfall.
Ah, Mr. A-Rod, your reputation precedes you.

Can he discover why Tek is batting .214?
When celebrated Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to the Bunker Hill Monument to analyze a mysterious geometric form—etched into the floor next to the disemboweled corpse of the head docent—he discovers evidence of the unthinkable: the resurgence of the ancient cult of the Inquinistas, a secret branch of Major League Baseball that has surfaced from the shadows to carry out its legendary vendetta against its mortal enemy, the Vatican.
An ancient cipher whose key is somewhere in Boston.
A murderous cult determined to protect it.
A white-knuckled race to uncover Major League Baseball's darkest secret.
The Forgotten Enigma
Langdon's worst fears are confirmed when a messenger from the Inquinistas appears at Paul Revere's grave to deliver a macabre ultimatum: Deposit $1 billion in Major League Baseball's off-shore bank accounts or the exclusive clothier of the Swiss Guards will be bankrupted. With only three days to foil their plot, Langdon joins forces with the louche and quick-witted daughter of the murdered docent in a desperate bid to crack the code that will reveal the cult's secret plan.
Embarking on a frantic hunt, Langdon and his companion follow a 900-year-old trail through Boston's most exalted churches and venerable monuments, pursued by a illustrated assassin the cult has sent to thwart them. What they discover threatens to expose a conspiracy that goes all the way back to Babe Ruth and the very founding of Major League Baseball.
