 While Himes' tenure with the Cubs will most likely be fondly remembered for the acquisition of Sosa, it will also be remembered conversely for the departure of pitcher Greg Maddux following the 1992 season, a season in which Maddux won 20 games and his first of four consecutive National League Cy Young Awards.Maddux had emerged back in 1988, when he made the National League All-Star team for the first time and won 18 games.He won 19 games in 1989 and 15 in 1990 and 1991, staking his claim as the Cubs' ace, and one of the National League's best pitchers.
