Former Red Sox Standout Crushes ESPN Over Bobby Jenks Death Post: 'Do Some Research' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. ESPN joined the likes of Major League Baseball, Fox Sports, and Barstool Sports among the major sports outlets that acknowledged former Chicago White Sox closer Bobby Jenks’ death this past weekend.

The death of the former White Sox closer prompted a teammate to call out ESPN for suggesting Jenks was a marginal player on the 2005 World Series champions.

A social media post by ESPN has drawn criticism after it described the late Bobby Jenks as being “on the roster” of the White Sox's 2005 world champonship team in a post about his death earlier this week.
