5 hours ago5 hr March 23, 1989 - The Sox traded Kenny Williams (who would eventually become the club’s G.M. and vice president) to Detroit for pitcher Eric King. Williams never achieved any measure of consistency in the big leagues. He played three years in Chicago and his best year was 1987. He had 11 home runs, 50 RBI’s and stole 21 bases, batting .281.King at least, had two solid years with the Sox including a spectacular 1990 campaign going 12-4 with a 3.25 ERA with two shutouts and 151 innings pitched, for the “Doin’ the Little Things” White Sox who’d shock baseball by compiling 94 wins in 1990.
