White Sox Celebrate Pope Leo the Fourteenth | Chicago News

The Chicago White Sox turned a regular game into a spiritual spectacle with a papal-themed night honoring Pope Leo the Fourteenth, the first American pope. Fans received over 40,000 “pope hats,” a “Sign of Peace” was led by local clergy and comedians, and Sister Mary Jo Sobieck threw out the ceremonial first pitch—her second time doing so. The team also donated $14,000 to a religious order he once led, installed a mural of him near his playoff seat, and even gifted him White Sox memorabilia alongside Cubs gear. Though they lost 5-4 to the Reds, the night celebrated community, faith, and Chicago pride—and kept the team in first place in the AL Central.
