Not really.
That 1990 White Sox team was my favorite of all-time.
We were putting the pieces in place like Thomas, Ventura, McDowell, Alvarez, Sosa (that went bust), Alex Fernandez, Lance Johnson, Jason Bere, etc., for an extended string of winning baseball and also opening up the new stadium, which turned out initially to be a great disappointment but it was still exciting to be leaving Old Comiskey.
In 1991 and 92, you could see the potential that would be fulfilled in 1993 and the strike-shortened 94 season.
Unfortunately, the Indians' monster wasn't far behind.
Now 1984-1987, I'll agree with you there. There was Ozzie to entertain the fans and that was about it. Thigpen, I guess. And Fisk, of course.
'85 wasn't bad, but '86-'89 was the meat in the s*** sandwich.
I almost had "Denying Christ" moments in the late 80s with the teams that they put on the field.
Me: "Yeah...I'm a White Sox fan..."
Them: "Really? Those exist?"
