That's fucked up. That first doc should never practice again.

Solid read.

Definitely.

His first wife sounds like a BlTCH though.

She stages an intervention to get him to go to rehab, and then when he does and continues getting the help he needs she files for divorce.

Cliff notes for those that don't care about meth-head Bobby Jenks?

Eh, a patriot would have divorced him and wouldn't give a shit if he got help. It's possible she saved his life by getting him into rehab.

I don't know if Bobby is coming completely clean with his drug and alcohol history before the back injury but this story isn't a full biography.

5.1 million seems light if you are arguing that but for the surgery he would pitch again.

His life story is even more complicated and interesting. I seem to recall him being raised white nationalists or something like that.

He was a success story and seemed like a good guy. Glad to see he got his health and didn't have the common story of bankruptcy added to his other problems.

2005!

Agree with Dolphin 5.1m seems small.

Also, no idea what wife one looked liked but he has a great looking one now.

The Windy City ThunderBolts are excited to announce that former Chicago White Sox all-star Bobby Jenks has been named the 20th Field Manager in franchise history.

“Please join me in welcoming Bobby back to the Windy City as he pursues another championship for the South Side,” said team owner Brian Kahn.

This is the second professional managerial job for Jenks, who won the Pioneer League championship in 2022 as the skipper of the Grand Junction Rockies. That season, the Rockies finished with a 62-33 record as Jenks was named Pioneer League Manager of the Year. His association with Grand Junction began in 2021, when he was their Pitching Coach. He had also previously worked as a roving pitching instructor in the White Sox’ organization.

Jenks has a name that will be familiar on the South Side of Chicago. He played six of his seven Major League seasons for the White Sox (2005-2010) and was a two-time all-star (’06 & ’07). As a rookie in 2005, he appeared in every game for the White Sox in the World Series, collecting two saves. He recorded the final three outs of game four, ending the Sox’ 88-year World Series drought.

He pitched in 329 games overall in a White Sox uniform and finished his career with 173 saves – second on the Sox’ all-time list. In 341.2 innings, he compiled a total ERA of 3.40 and in 2007, he set a Major League record by retiring 41 consecutive batters.

“Putting aside his popularity on the South Side of Chicago, in three short years coaching, Bobby has shown to be a great mentor both on and off the field,” said General Manager Mike VerSchave. “His experience pitching at the highest level, in the highest pressure situations will be invaluable in molding our pitching staff. His title run in the Pioneer League shows his ability to put together a competitive team as well as run a fantastic clubhouse that will serve him well in our league.”

Jenks joins the ThunderBolts after spending the 2023 season as the Pitching Coach for the Princeton WhistlePigs of the Appalachian League, a collegiate wood bat league in collaboration with Major League Baseball.

Jenks will make his debut as ThunderBolts manager on May 9, when the Bolts play host to the Evansville Otters on Opening Night at Ozinga Field.
