The Chicago White Sox celebrate the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope hailing from Chicago, who is also a fan of the team. This news brings jubilation, with team officials acknowledging the historic significance of this connection. White Sox Community Relations Vice President Christine O'Reilly noted that while the team's retired jersey number 14 belongs to Paul Konerko, he is willing to share. The team sees exciting promotional opportunities ahead while respecting the gravity of the papal connection.
It's been amazing to see a global leader and fellow Chicagoan become a White Sox fan.
For the first time ever, there's an American pope, who is a professed fan of the White Sox? It's almost too much to even process.
