Bobby Jenks, a crucial member of the 2005 White Sox championship team, passed away at age 44 after battling cancer. His death prompted teammates to honor him with a memorial at the team’s 20-year reunion. Jenks had planned to attend the reunion despite his illness, reflecting his determination to improve his life. Teammates expressed their sadness over his passing, recognizing the significance of this milestone event as many former players are no longer with them. Jenks's life and career left a lasting impact on his teammates and fans alike.
The fact that he cleaned his life up, I mean, is the worst part of it. He was making himself into a better human being than what he was. It's sad, it's awful. Cancer sucks, man.
Jenks was a hard-throwing right-hander who could routinely hit triple digits on the radar gun, drawing gasps in the ballpark.
