Former Chicago White Sox pitcher Bobby Jenks has died at the age of 44 from a rare form of stomach cancer.

Jenks was a two-time All-Star pitcher for the Chicago White Sox and was part of the team that ended their 88-year wait for a World Series title in 2005.

He threw the final pitch of the match in game four of the series as the White Sox beat the Houston Astros.

“We have lost an iconic member of the White Sox family,” White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement.

“None of us will ever forget all that Bobby did for the 2005 World Series champions and for the entire Sox organisation during his time in Chicago.”
