 Thanks in part to Himes' moves, field manager Jeff Torborg's performance, and strong seasons from veterans like Iván Calderón, Ozzie Guillén, Carlton Fisk, and Bobby Thigpen, the White Sox won 90 games in 1990, contending with the eventual American League champion Oakland Athletics into the final week of the season.The season was the last in old Comiskey Park, as the White Sox were scheduled to move into a new ballpark with the same name across the street (now named Guaranteed Rate Field).Himes was not there to see the White Sox make the move, as he and his director of scouting Al Goldis were fired after the 1990 season.
