The new pope is a fan of White Sox.
Recent sequences have revealed that Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, attended match 1 of the 2005 World Series in Chicago carrying White Sox equipment from Chicago.
In the video, Leo, who was elected this week to become the first Pope of American origin this week after the recent death of Pope Francis, is seen among the fans during the 5-3 victory of the White Sox on the Astros, a game that set the tone for the first world title of the team since 1917.
This discovery has delighted a lot, highlighting the Fandom of the Pope of SOX, as well as its global connection with sports.
Friday, the manager of Cubs, Craig Counsell, suggested in a fun way that Leo should be worried about helping the bulls in the Draft lottery, which takes place on Monday evening.
The Bulls will be part of the process, although they are currently 12th with only 8% chance of moving in the first four, with 1.7% chance of obtaining the overall choice n ° 1, which is probably Cooper Flagg de Duke.
Leo’s brother John confirmed allegiance to the White Sox, noting that their household had diversified loyalty, their mother favoring the Cubs and their father supporting the cardinals.
“He was never a fan of cubs, so I don’t know where it comes from,” said Prevost earlier this week with WGN-TV. “He has always been a fan of the Sox. Our mother was a fan of Cubs. I don’t know, maybe that in there and our father was a fan of the cardinals, so I don’t know where it all happened.
A fan even arrived at the White Sox game on Friday disguised as Leo.
The White Sox, only 11-28 this season, even won Friday evening, beating the Marlins, 6-2.
