Big Bobby Jenks: 2005 Hero Gone Too Soon

White Sox Nation, we lost a legend. Big Bobby Jenks, the closer who slammed the door on Houston in '05 and ended our 88-year drought, has passed away at 44 after a tough fight with cancer. That Game 4 ninth inning—ice in his veins—will always be iconic. Ozzie Guillen called him one of his all-time favorites, and fans everywhere will never forget his record 41 straight retired batters. RIP, big fella. The 2005 reunion just won’t be the same without you. #Sports #WhiteSox #BobbyJenks
