Bobby Jenks, a former Chicago White Sox closer, died at 44 after battling stomach cancer. While many mourned his loss, former teammate Doug Mientkiewicz criticized ESPN's tweet about Jenks, arguing that it lacked respect for his achievements. Mientkiewicz emphasized that Jenks was not just on the roster, but was THE CLOSER during the White Sox's 2005 World Series victory. Jenks was a two-time All-Star and recorded significant saves during his career, including four in the postseason and two in the World Series.
ESPN should be ashamed and embarrassed for writing something like this! 'Was on the roster'? He was THE CLOSER on a championship winning team. Do some research before you release something. Have some respect! "
