Pope Leo XIV showcased his support for the Chicago White Sox by wearing a team hat during his weekly general audience at the Vatican. The Chicago native, previously Cardinal Robert Prevost, was elected as the first U.S.-born pope on May 8 and recently clarified his baseball allegiance, with his brother asserting that Leo has always been a White Sox fan, dismissing earlier reports of him being a Cubs fan. Celebrating his fandom, Leo’s connection to the White Sox was further highlighted by a past appearance at the 2005 World Series, where he was spotted during Game 1 as the team secured its first championship in 88 years.
