Bobby Jenks, a former All-Star closer and key figure in the Chicago White Sox’s 2005 World Series victory, has d**d at the age of 44, the team confirmed Saturday.
Jenks passed away Friday in Sintra, Portugal, where he had been undergoing treatment for adenoca**inoma, a type of stomach ca**er, according to CNN.
A dominant presence on the mound, Jenks played a crucial role in the White Sox’s championship run, recording four saves across six postseason appearances in 2005. He was named an All-Star in both 2006 and 2007, racking up 41 saves in ’06 and 40 in ’07, solidifying his status as one of the top closers in baseball during that era.
