White Sox pay tribute to late closer Bobby Jenks by wearing '45' uniform patches
The White Sox debuted Jenks' uniform number patches against the Cleveland Guardians and will wear them for the remainder of the season.
A World Series champion and two-time All-Star, Jenks died Friday in Sintra, Portugal, where he was being treated for adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer. He was 44.
Jenks helped the White Sox win the 2005 World Series, saving four games in six appearances during the postseason. He was on the mound for the final out in Game 4 at Houston, giving Chicago its first championship since 1917. Jenks made All-Star teams while saving 41 games in 2006 and 40 in 2007.
Members of the 2005 team are gathering in Chicago this weekend to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the title run. The White Sox are scheduled to unveil a statue of former ace Mark Buehrle on Friday.

🎥 The top 5️⃣ goals from the MLS weekend
Major League Soccer produced yet another batch of highlight-reel worthy goals after an action-packed weekend. Let's take a look at some of the best from Matchday 24. 5. Anders Dreyer vs Chicago Fire It's once again Anders Dreyer with his name on the scoresheet, but this is a beautiful team move from San Diego in what was their second goal against the Chicago Fire. Advertisement His second of the night, and 11th overall as well. 4. Kerwin Vargas vs NYCFC It was an awkward touch at first, but Charlotte forward Kerwin Vargas eventually found his balance as he teed himself up for a second attempt against NYCFC. Three points secured, and a lovely volley style at that. 3. Martín Ojeda vs Montreal Our first low free-kick of the night arrives from a trio of men wearing purple. Martín Ojeda clearly practiced this on the training ground. And even at that, there was no guarantee the player wall would split the way it did. Nestling the ball by the near post makes it an even better watch! 2. Evander vs Columbus Crew The Hell is Real derby always delivers, and delivered it did! A six-goal showdown ended with the Crew beating Cincinnati, but those in blue and orange won't forget this strike from Evander regardless of the result. Advertisement Someone get a miles per hour reading on this hit! 1. Lionel Messi vs Nashville And it had to be, didn't it? This goal from Lionel Messi isn't perhaps the most dazzling free-kick, but it is one of the smartest. Always threatening to go up and over the wall, the Miami megastar instead opted to go low and around the wall with the ball somehow missing everyone and nestling into goalkeeper Joe Willis' net. What was your favourite from the weekend? Let us know in the comments below. 📸 Feature image credit: © Matt Marton-Imagn Images
