At this time in 1990 the Reds’ Jack Armstrong was on top of the world. He had just been named the starting pitcher for the National League in the All Star game, which is pretty much the ultimate honor for a pitcher. The team was in first place on its way to a wire-to-wire World Series victory over the juggernaut Oakland Athletics. Armstrong was 11-3 with a 2.28 ERA at the All Star break. The Reds were 13-4 in games started by Armstrong. The 25 year old was seemingly on his way to superstardom in his first full season in the rotation.
