Brian Matusz appeared to have it all. The Orioles went into the 2014 All Star break with the division lead, their best start in 17 years. Even the most pessimistic Baltimoreans were having World Series dreams. Brian had pitched in 40 games and had made a name for himself as rival Red Sox slugger David Ortiz’s Kryptonite.
