Bobby Jenks, the former Chicago White Sox closer, has shared that he is facing Stage 4 stomach cancer following a devastating home fire. Despite an uncertain illness prognosis, Jenks remains determined to fight the disease. In a recent interview, he acknowledged the unpredictable nature of his timeline but expressed readiness to battle regardless of the outcome. To aid in his fight, Jenks is collaborating with Ronald McDonald House Charities to sell commemorative t-shirts, while also signing memorabilia to raise funds, reflecting the strong community support surrounding him during this challenge.
I've come to the realization that it could be six months, or it could be three years. But I'm ready. And however long it takes, I'm going to be here fighting it.
The White Sox are partnering with Ronald McDonald House Charities to sell t-shirts for fans wishing to show their support for Jenks, with the 'Grinder Rule #45' slogan paying homage to his jersey number.
Jenks had 173 saves during six seasons with the White Sox, but his career derailed when he signed with the Boston Red Sox thanks to a slew of injuries.
He now faces an uncertain prognosis, but is still fighting.
