The Chicago White Sox unveiled a graphic installation in tribute to Father Bob, the newly elected Pope Leo XIV, marking his attendance at the 2005 World Series opener. The artwork represents a pivotal moment in both baseball and the popeâs life, showcasing him with friends during the event. White Sox officials expressed the significance of this piece in bringing history to life and celebrating the newly appointed U.S. pope. Friends of the pope shared insights about his charitable work, expressing a desire for the focus to shift from baseball to his character and humanitarian efforts.
When people come into the ballpark, it's an interesting piece of our history and they're going to want to see it," said Brooks Boyer, the chief executive and marketing officer for the White Sox. "So we're going to be able to put something on that seat."
A lot of this is about the White Sox. It should be more about what kind of guy the pope is," Schmit said. "You look at some of the things he's done with his missions, I mean it's incredible. He's been in places that are so poor, just trying to help other people."
