Incredible images emerged from Pope Leo XIV looking at the stands during the glorious victory of the World Series of the Chicago White Sox in 2005.
The 69 -year -old man, whose birth name is Robert Francis Prevost, has become the first American in history to direct the Catholic Church when he was elected to the Vatican.
The new pope was born in Chicago in 1955 and a half-receiver later, he was part of the crowd in the cellular field then-American for the World Series match 1 against the Astros of Houston.
In a clip that became viral on social networks on Friday, he can be seen by watching the White Sox classify a 5-3 victory.
With Chicago only two shy strikes from victory, the camera goes from the mound to the stands, where Pope Leo XIV stands with team colors.
White smoke came out of the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, confirming that a new pope was chosen after the death of Pope Francis.

Shortly after, the Chicago Cubs had shared a photo on their social networks, celebrating what they thought was a new famous fan.
“Hey, Chicago. He’s a fan of cubs! A message on a jumbotron in the emblematic Wrigley Field read Thursday. The Cubs shared it on X with the legend: “Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV!”
But it quickly appeared that the MLB team had made an embarrassing error.
“Yeah, he has never been, never a fan of the cubs, I don’t know where it comes from,” Pope John’s brother said to WGN News.
“He has always been a fan of the Sox. Our mother was a fan of cubs, our father was a fan of cardinals. I don’t know where it comes from.
