Why aren't the '90 Reds one of the all time greatest teams?

They went wire to wire in first and went on to sweep the Mighty A's.

Twenty five homers led the team. Eight six RBI's led the team. As a team, they hit 125 homers. Team batting average of .265.

They had one fifteen game winner, one fourteen game winner and one twelve game winner.

Granted, they had the Nasty Boys. But does having dominant bullpen make you dominant?

The point is, they were the epitome of a winning as a team. Yet. they get no love in the all time conversation. I think that is nothing short of a travesty.

Baseball values numbers and statistics like no other sport. You pretty much answered your own question in your post. Having said that... They did donkey punch Oakland in the World Series.
