The Chicago White Sox won the World Series in 2005, led by manager Ozzie Guillen and closer Bobby Jenks. This victory marked the team's first championship since 1917. Bobby Jenks, who played a pivotal role in the win, recently passed away in Portugal at the age of 44 following a battle with stage 4 adenocarcinoma. The franchise honored Jenks with supportive messages from Guillen and other 2005 players, celebrating his impact on the team and asserting his unique talent in Major League Baseball.
Bobby Jenks began the 2005 World Series with a save and ended it with one, helping propel the @whitesox to their first title in 88 years.
I mean Bobby was kind of ahead of his time, there's a lot of guys now that throw like Bobby but like when he first came up, I'm not sure there was anybody that looked like him from like a stuff standpoint.
Jenks once tied an MLB record, retiring 41 batters in a row, which was eventually surpassed by Yusmeiro Petit of the San Francisco Giants with 46.
So young. Praying for his family.
