Robert Prevost became the first pope from the U.S. in the history of the Catholic Church when he was elected on May 8. The Chicago-born missionary, who took the name Leo XIV, is a White Sox fan, according to his brother, John.
Who could have imagined that being a White Sox fan would put you in the same league as the pope? But here we are.
The pontiff was honored by the team with a graphic installation in Section 140 at Rate Field, where he sat while cheering on the Sox in Game 1 of the 2005 World Series.
The pope attended the game with his friend Ed Schmidt, who was a season ticket holder. The two knew each other through their work at St. Rita of Cascia on the South Side.
The team says the artwork commemorates the pope’s Chicago roots “and the unifying power of baseball on the world stage.”
Pope Leo also got personalized Bears memorabilia Monday from a visitor to the Vatican.
During a meeting, U.S. Vice President JD Vance gifted the pope a Chicago Bears jersey customized with his name on the back.
