The 1990 Milwaukee Brewers season was the 21st season for the Brewers in Milwaukee, and their 22nd overall. The Brewers finished sixth in the American League East with a record of 74 wins and 88 losses. This was the first season where the players last names appeared on the back of the jerseys, but only for away games. It would be another 3 years before the names appeared on the home jerseys.

Offseason

  • October 16, 1989: Joey Meyer was released by the Brewers.
  • December 3, 1989: Dave Parker was signed as a free agent by the Brewers.
  • December 12, 1989: Terry Francona was signed as a free agent by the Brewers.
  • December 19, 1989: Robin Yount was signed as a free agent by the Brewers.

Regular season

  • April 9, 1990: Pitcher Tony Fossas threw exactly three pitches and recorded three outs. This was accomplished in the sixth inning.
  • July 11, 1990: As part of the celebration of Comiskey Park, the Chicago White Sox played a Turn Back the Clock game against the Brewers. The White Sox wore their 1917 home uniforms. This was the first Turn Back the Clock game in the major leagues and started what has become a popular promotion. The club turned off the electronic scoreboards and public address system. They constructed a special manually operated scoreboard in center field for the day and even the grounds-crew wore period costume. General admission tickets were sold for $0.50, popcorn was a nickel, and the stadium organ was shut down for the game.
