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.

It was revealed on Saturday that former World Series champion pitcher Jenks passed away at age 44 from a form of stomach cancer in Sintra, Portugal.

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.
