90 is a great age for a guy.
(particularly a guy that's been famous) I'd be happy with that. RIP.

Mr Minoso amassed some very interesting stats in his career.
Not only did he get a hit at the ripe old age 50 (in 1976) but he also led the league, multiple times, in two somewhat dubious categories. Six times, he led the league in 'caught stealing' Ten times, he lead the league in being hit by pitch.

Grew up on the South Side and a Sox fan from birth. This is sad, but as Rock said, he got it all.
