Hendriks was diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin lymphoma in December, but returned to a Major League mound cancer-free just six months later.
White Sox closer Liam Hendriks was honored Wednesday with the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the annual ESPY Awards.
The award Hendriks received is named after former college basketball coach and sportscaster Jimmy Valvano, who delivered an emotional speech at the 1993 ESPY Awards while suffering from terminal cancer, stressing the importance of hope, including his famous quote,"Don't give up, don't ever give up." The 34-year-old Australian was declared cancer-free in late April and returned to the mound a month later.
