Former White Sox closer Bobby Jenks glad to be remembered with bobblehead

July 4, 2015 admin

The moment forever will be frozen in White Sox history: Bobby Jenks, arms raised in triumph as he celebrates the 2005 World Series victory.
The first 20,000 fans at Saturday’s game against the Orioles were given bobbleheads of his likeness commemorating that time nearly 10 years ago.
And nary a hair was out of place. Well, almost.
“A little bit,” Jenks said Saturday when asked whether the bobblehead resembled him. “It’s me. They need to work on the beard a little bit.”
Jenks has five kids, a house with a yard in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles and now a box full of those bobbleheads.
At 34, the former White Sox closer said he can’t pitch anymore as surgeries and rehabs have taken a toll.
He had talked in January of a possible comeback but instead has settled for games of catch, golf and throwing a football around on a beach.
The two-time All-Star reliever last pitched in the majors four years ago with the Red Sox. He was 16-20 with 173 saves during his seven-year career with a 3.53 ERA and 351 strikeouts in 3571/3 innings.
“I’m going to be able to live a normal life,” Jenks said. “I gave it a run; it was just too much pain.
“I can play with the kids … do all those things that you want to do to live your life, but getting on a mound again, that ship has sailed.”
Jenks had back-to-back 40-save seasons for the Sox in 2006-07. He saved just six regular-season games for the 2005 team after getting called up in July but had four during that postseason, including the clincher in Game 4 of the World Series against the Astros.
“It was a special team, and obviously with the history of not winning in so many years, it means a lot more to the city as well,” Jenks said. “Most of us aren’t playing anymore due to injuries or retirement, so it’s nice to be remembered and come back for other reasons.”
Mark Buehrle, A.J. Pierzynski, Juan Uribe and Neal Cotts are the only players from the World Series roster still active in the big leagues.
