Windy City Thunderbolts playing with purpose as manager Bobby Jenks battles stomach cancer
The Windy City Thunderbolts baseball team is playing with a special purpose this season. Their leader and 2005 White Sox World Series champion, Bobby Jenks, is battling cancer thousands of miles away, while his friend and former teammate tries to hold down the fort in Crestwood. Ozinga Field feels a little empty this season, with the Thunderbolts missing their manager, Bobby Jenks. "Bobby last year was one of those guys you really want to rally behind and play for," pitcher Greg Duncan said. "He was fun. He was very fun to play with, but also if you're doing something wrong, he's going to let you know," pitcher Buddie Pindel said. "It was unbelievable. I mean, he cared so much. His work ethic was unbelievable. Personally, I grew up a White Sox fan, so that was really cool for me," infielder Christian Kuzemka said. Jenks took over as manager of the Thunderbolts in the independent Frontier League last season, and was set to return for a second year until he was hit with a stage 4 stomach cancer diagnosis, news that hit this Thunderbolts team hard. "Gut-wrenching. It was really hard. I teared up when I heard about it; someone so genuine and so special, that gives you opportunities, and is there for you, not only as a colleague, but also as a friend. But I know he's not soft. That is for dang sure. He's going to fight like hell, and he's going to do his best to get back here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing him," Duncan said. "Devastated, right? But he's a fighter. My father had stomach cancer, so I'm really in tune with what that battle is like. Obviously, just heartbroken, but if anyone can beat it, it's Bobby Jenks. You saw it when he pitched with the Sox, right? He grinded every day. He threw 102 mph before everyone else did. So, heartbroken, but we know he can fight it," Kuzemka said. Toby Hall, who Jenks had hired to be his bench coach in 2025, is now tasked with trying to fill Jenks' shoes as interim manager this season. Hall was an assistant on Jenks' staff last season, but they're more than just colleagues. They're also good friends and former teammates on the White Sox in 2007 and 2008, making this an incredibly difficult circumstance to take over the interim manager duties. "It sucks. You know, because one of my best friends is going through what he's going through, and I told him I'd hold down the fort," Hall said. Do Hall and Jenks get the chance to talk at all lately? "It's via text lately," Hall said. "Last good conversation about a month ago, and that was a tough one, but he's in spirits. He's sending me players, and telling me you gotta get this guy, and that guy, but we only have so many transactions that we can do. I try to let him know, hey, everything's fine, we're good, but on the flip side it's keeping him engaged." This team has Jenks on their mind every time they take the field in Crestwood or on the road, as he clearly made quite an impact in his first and only season managing them. "Every time we step out there, we know Bobby's paying attention. We want to do it for him, because if we can make him a little more happier, we know that's going to help his fight, and when we're tired in the dog days of summer, we know we're not as tired as he is right now," Kuzemka "We had a players only meeting about it, and it was like, 'those who are new, and don't really understand the situation, here's what it is.' You're not only playing for the guys in front of you and behind you, you're playing for someone bigger than that who's going through a fight, that is killing to be here right now. It's just one day at a time, one fight at time, just like he's doing," Duncan said. Hall said he also wants all players to play for themselves as well, as they chase their baseball dreams, while keeping Jenks in their thoughts. Jenks remains in Portugal, where his wife's family is from. According to the Thunderbolts, his treatment has been going as planned with no major complications, and he is still hoping to make it back to Chicago this summer. The White Sox' 20-year World Series reunion is set for the weekend of July 11 at Rate Field.

Crestwood Medical Center CEO speaks on Freestanding Emergency Department coming to Madison
MADISON, Ala. (WHNT) — In an emergency, minutes matter. That's why Crestwood Medical Center is building a new Freestanding Emergency Department in Madison. The new facility will be built at the intersection of Madison Boulevard and Research Boulevard in Madison. For people familiar with this area, it's across I-565 from Town Madison, and just down the road from the shopping center with Publix on Madison Boulevard. Trash Pandas, News 19 announce 'Color the Can' contest winner The location will drastically cut down drive time for people in Town Madison, Triana and Downtown Madison to access emergency care. Rather than driving 20 minutes to Crestwood's main campus in Huntsville, they'll have a five to 10-minute drive to the Freestanding Emergency Department. News 19 spoke with Crestwood's new CEO, Justin Serrano about the facility. 'Minutes do matter when it comes to healthcare,' Serrano said. He said an emergency healthcare facility in that area is much needed with a growing population in Madison due to a boom in housing developments. 'We thought it would be a great addition to the community to have access to another site of emergency services,' Serrano said. The Freestanding Emergency Department will be staffed by an emergency medicine physician and a highly trained clinical team. Crestwood said it will offer the same level of emergency care as its traditional hospital emergency department. 'It will be staffed with physicians as well as registered nurses, lab technicians, imaging technicians,' said Serrano. 'So we'll have the full complement of services that you would come to expect in a facility like Crestwood.' The proposed facility in Madison closely resembles the Freestanding Emergency Department that Crestwood opened in Harvest last year. Serrano told News 19 that the Harvest FED has already been a great asset to the community. 'We have heard an incredible amount of positive feedback from patients, as well as friends and family members who have opted to use that service in the harvest community,' he said. 'So we felt that was going to be a catalyst for future expansion in different communities, as we see that as a really successful way to provide access to care closer to home.' The FED in Madison is expected to break ground in the summer of 2025. Serrano said he expects it to open sometime during the summer of 2026. News 19 also reached out to the City of Madison about the new healthcare facility. A city spokesperson sent us this statement: 'Quality of life, safety, and health is a huge win for our community, as well as additional health care opportunities on the south side of town. Part of the goal of redoing Madison Blvd was to make it safer and better for continued economic development. This project supports the growth in that corridor of Madison.' City of Madison The new facility will be 12,000 square feet with 10 beds and a trauma center. Crestwood Medical Center said it will cost approximately $22 million. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
