The Chicago White Sox recently unveiled a tribute at Section 140, Row 19, Seat 2, commemorating Father Bob Prevost, also known as the future Pope Leo XIV, who sat there during Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. The artwork features him along with his friend Ed Schmit and his grandson. The team plans to further commemorate the seat, emphasizing its historical significance. Prevost, the first pope from the U.S., is recognized for his charitable work and strong connection to the White Sox, highlighting the blend of sports and significant historical events.
"A lot of this is about the White Sox. It should be more about what kind of guy the pope is...he's been in places that are so poor, just trying to help other people."
"When people come into the ballpark, it's an interesting piece of our history and they're going to want to see it."
