It was a somber moment, but was expected to honor Jenux after the news of his death over the weekend.
Genx announced in February that he was working with Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma, which is a form of stomach cancer. He was on a hospital bed when he announced at MLB.com after going to Portugal to be close to his wife’s family.

“We have lost a prestigious member of the White Sox family today,” Jerry Rindorf said in a statement, White Sox President.
“None of us will ever forget the ninth innings of Game 4 in Houston, which Bobby had done for the 2005 world series Champion and during his time in Chicago for the entire Sox organization. He and his family knew that cancer would be his most difficult battle, and he would miss a special place in all our hearts.”

While Jenux did not divide his position in addition to the diagnosis, he said that he was expected to be a part of the 20th anniversary of White Sox of the 2005 world series victory. This will be Friday when Chicago Cleveland will take it to parents.
Genx played seven seasons at MLB, six of which with white sox. Starting with him in 2005, he had great success, earned 2.75 ERAs in more than 32 games, while outdoors were dropped in nine innings.
Due to its continuity on the mound, Genx would end after being close through the world series of the team of that season, and he picked all four matches, as White Sox shed Houston Astro to win all this.
Genx earned back-to-back-star dialect in 2006 and 2007, while finishing his career with 3.53 ERA. The other team for which he played before the 2011 season was Boston Red Sox.

Jenx is alive by his wife and six children, four of whom were from the previous marriage.
