The Chicago White Sox are set to unveil a graphic at Rate Field honoring Pope Leo XIV, a lifelong fan of the team. Born Robert Prevost, the Pope attended the 2005 World Series game at the former U.S. Cellular Field. His connection to the team is celebrated as the White Sox's performance has slightly improved since his election. With a record of 14-31 this season and fans showing support through themed attire, the team's management feels buoyed by their significant fan's influence.
It's been exciting obviously, to have someone of that significance be a White Sox fan. Since he's been announced to become the Pope, the White Sox have tacked on some wins. So perhaps a higher power is on our side.
Fans at home games have come dressed in Pope costumes and Pope-related T-shirts during the current home stand.
