The Chicago White Sox will unveil a graphic installation honoring Pope Leo XIV, a Chicago native and avid fan of the team, who recently became the first U.S. pope. The artwork will be displayed at Rate Field, where he famously celebrated during the 2005 World Series. The White Sox emphasized the piece's role in celebrating both the pope's Chicago connections and the universal impact of baseball. Following his election, the team sent memorabilia to the Vatican and local fans even dressed as the pope at a game to show their support.
The graphic installation at Rate Field commemorates Pope Leo XIV's Chicago roots and the unifying power of baseball on the world stage.
Robert Prevost became the first pope from the U.S. in the history of the Catholic Church when he was elected on May 8.
