Bobby Jenks, a two-time All-Star relief pitcher who recorded the final out in the Chicago White Sox’s 2005 World Series championship, passed away on the Fourth of July. Jenks, who was battling cancer, was 44 years old and died in Portugal, where he was receiving treatment.
The White Sox, who Jenks spent six of his seven MLB season with, announced Jenks’s death Saturday. Team owner and chairman Jerry Reinsdorf issued a statement in which he fondly remembered Jenks’s postseason heroics.
