The death of Bobby Jenks shocked the world of baseball last week and the emotions ran up on social networks while ESPN caught a little flak for his wording on an article on social networks on the deceased.
Jenks, 44, died after a battle against stomach cancer. He was an All-Star twice with the White Sox of Chicago and was the anchor of the Liberate Enclosure in 2005 during their magic race in the playoffs, beating the Astros of Houston in the World Series. He succeeded in four stops in the playoffs.

An article on social networks on Jenks described it as “being on the list”.
“Bobby Jenks, once a star launcher for the Chicago White Sox, who was on the list when the franchise won the 2005 World Series, died on Friday in Sintra, Portugal, the team announced,” the post on X Read announced.

Former players like Aj Pierzynski and Doug Mentkiewicz challenged the post.
PK Press Club Digital contacted ESPN to comment.
Jenks was a fifth round choice in 2000 of the school, made his debut in MLB in 2005 and immediately broke out on the stage. In 32 games, he launched an MPM of 2.75 and withdrew 11.4 throats per nine.
Due to its rapid success, he won the role of the closest before the playoffs. He appeared in the four games of this fall classic and released the final that broke the drought of the SOX 88 -year championship.

He retired after the 2011 season, spending six of his seven seasons in Chicago and the other with the Boston Red Sox.
Jenks has completed his career with an MPM of 3.53 and 351 stick withdrawals.
