We are deeply saddened by the passing of former Major League pitcher Bobby Jenks. Jenks pitched for the White Sox from 2005 until 2010 and for the Red Sox in 2011. In his time in Chicago, Jenks amassed 173 saves, including back-to-back seasons of 40+ saves in 2006 and 2007. Jenks was named an American League All-Star in both of those seasons. Jenks was on the mound as the White Sox recorded the final out of the 2005 World Series, which finished off the 4-game sweep of the Houston Astros and secured the franchise’s first World Series championship since 1917. Jenks was battling adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer. He was 44 years old.
