You know your post-season hopes are officially over when Peter Solomon comes into the game and you find yourself musing not about the game situation but rather about how wise Solomon is and whether he proposes to split the outside corner in half.
Legend has it that back in the old days, when Jamie Moyer was but a rookie, the wise Solomon found himself adjudicating between two women who both claimed a baby to be theirs and ruled the baby should be cut in half to be shared equally with each purported mother.
Solomon’s reasoning was that the true mother would never let this happen and indeed one of the women said no, the other should just keep the baby, at which point the wise Solomon awarded the baby to her.
