The Chicago White Sox are set to unveil a graphic installation at Rate Field, honoring Pope Leo XIV, the first U.S. pope elected in history on May 8. This event commemorates the pope's Chicago roots and his enthusiasm for baseball. Pope Leo XIV, a fan of the White Sox, was present at the team's Game 1 in the 2005 World Series. The White Sox acknowledge their connection to the pope, even sending memorabilia to the Vatican, and fans have embraced this association during challenging seasons.
The graphic installation at Rate Field marks the location where the future pope cheered for Chicago in Game 1 of the 2005 World Series.
The White Sox said it sent a jersey and a hat to the Vatican after the announcement of Robert Prevost's election as pope.
