Bobby Jenks, a former two-time All-Star pitcher for the Chicago White Sox and integral part of their 2005 World Series win, passed away at 44 in Portugal due to adenocarcinoma, a type of stomach cancer. He spent six seasons with the White Sox from 2005-2010 and had a brief stint with the Boston Red Sox in 2011. Throughout his career, Jenks recorded 173 saves and a 3.53 ERA. His contributions to the 2005 playoff run, including crucial saves, were memorable and will always be cherished by the team and fans alike.
"We have lost an iconic member of the White Sox family today. None of us will ever forget that ninth inning of Game 4 in Houston, all that Bobby did for the 2005 World Series champions and for the entire Sox organization during his time in Chicago."
"You play for the love of the game, the joy of it. It's what keeps you going; that was my life, my heart, and my passion."
