The Chicago White Sox are set to honor Pope Leo XIV with a graphic installation at Rate Field, marking a significant tribute to the first U.S. pope. Born in Chicago, he attended a pivotal White Sox game in the 2005 World Series. The installation symbolizes his Chicago roots and suggests baseball's potential to unify. The White Sox, despite recent struggles, cherish this connection, having previously sent memorabilia to the Vatican and witnessed enthusiastic fan support, even dressing up as the pope at games.
The graphic installation commemorates the pope's Chicago roots "and the unifying power of baseball on the world stage."
