My Take

Bobby Jenks is woven into one of baseball's great curse-breaking moments, getting the final out of the 2005 World Series for a White Sox team that had waited 88 years. As a closer he was an intimidating sight, a big frame and a fastball that could touch triple digits, the kind of arm that made the ninth inning feel decided before it started. His career was relatively short and dogged by injuries afterward, which makes his peak feel almost meteoric. For Sox fans of a certain era, the image of Jenks pumping his fist on the mound is permanently burned into memory, and rightfully so.
