Former Major League Baseball pitcher Bobby Jenks, known for his dominant years with the Chicago White Sox, recently announced he is undergoing treatment for stomach cancer. Jenks shared the news from a hospital in Portugal, where he's currently receiving care. Despite the diagnosis, he expressed a positive outlook, hoping to recover and resume his managerial role with the Windy City Thunderbolts of the Frontier League.

Jenks, a key contributor to the White Sox's 2005 World Series victory, emphasized his determination to fight the disease, stating his intent to overcome this challenge and extend his time. The 43-year-old had a notable seven-year career in the MLB, earning two All-Star selections. His rookie season in 2005 saw him record 32 appearances and six saves. In 2007, he achieved a remarkable feat by retiring 41 consecutive batters, tying a record for relief pitchers.

Over six seasons with Chicago, Jenks appeared in 329 games, maintaining a 3.40 ERA and accumulating 173 saves. He also played for the Boston Red Sox for a year before retiring from professional baseball. The Chicago White Sox organization publicly expressed their support for Jenks on social media, sending their best wishes for his recovery.
