The 1990 Chicago White Sox season was the White Sox's 91st season. They finished with a record 94-68, good enough for 2nd place in the American League West, 9 games behind of the 1st place Oakland Athletics, as the White Sox played their final season at Comiskey Park before moving to the new Comiskey Park the next season.

Regular Season

In the summer of 1990, Michael Jordan took batting practice at Comiskey Park. [20th Century Chicago: 100 Years, 100 Voices By Chicago Sun Times, p.119, Chicago sun-times, Adrienne Drell, Published 2000, Sports Publishing LLC, ISBN:1582612390] The following year, Upper Deck created a baseball card of Michael Jordan and it was numbered SP1.

Bobby Thigpen had the best season of his career in 1990, setting the major league record of 57 saves. He also maintained a 1.83 ERA and was named to the AL All-Star team. He also blew eight saves that season, including two three-run leads.

In anticipation of the move to new Comiskey Park, the White Sox adopted classic pinstriped uniforms late in the 1990 season along with the alternate black jerseys, instantly jumping to the top of the league in merchandise sales. Originally to be premiered in the 1991 season, the Sox sported the jerseys during their final days at the old ballpark.
