White Sox Release Touching Tribute to Bobby Jenks After Recent Passing originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago White Sox overcame tremendous odds to win the World Seires in 2005, led by a personable and dominant team that included mercurial manager Ozzie Guillen and standout closer Bobby Jenks among others.

The White Sox said Bobby Jenks died Friday in Sintra, Portugal, where he was being treated for adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer.

The former Boston Red Sox first baseman ripped ESPN’s wording that Jenks, who died at 44 from stomach cancer on July 4, was “on the roster” for the 2005 World Series champion Chicago White Sox.
