 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.Cubs chairman Don Grenesko hired Himes to succeed Jim Frey as general manager on the same October 1991 day that he fired Frey.
