In a move that has stirred emotions across the Windy City, Pope Leo XIV, a native of Chicago and the first American to ascend to the papacy, has publicly declared his allegiance to the Chicago White Sox.
This revelation, which has been the subject of much speculation and fervent debate, was made during a general assembly in Rome on Wednesday when the pontiff sported a black White Sox baseball cap.
As reported by Breitbart, this gesture by Pope Leo XIV offers a glimmer of hope to the beleaguered White Sox fans. The team currently languishes with a record of 23-44, trailing their division leader by a staggering 20.5 games.
Only the Colorado Rockies, often likened to a minor league team, are further adrift, sitting 27 games behind in their division. The pontiff's choice of headwear, therefore, resonates deeply with South Siders, providing a rare moment of joy amid a challenging season.
In response to this papal endorsement, the Archdiocese of Chicago is organizing a celebratory event at Rate Field on June 14. While Pope Leo XIV is not anticipated to attend in person, the festivities will commence with gates opening at 12:30 PM CST, followed by the main event at 2:30 PM CST.
A mass is scheduled to take place at 4 PM CST, offering a spiritual uplift to the faithful and fans alike. This occasion underscores the enduring connection between faith and community, even as the White Sox strive to overcome their current struggles on the field.
