Kane County Cougars Giving Away Pope Leo Bobbleheads

Pope Leo‘s likeness will be around baseball for years to come. The Kane County Cougars, who play in the Pope’s native Illinois in the American Association, just announced a Pope bobblehead night for August 28.

The first 1,500 fans at the ballpark will scoop up a must-have giveaway, which appears to be the first of Pope Leo to hit a ballpark since he ascended to the Papal throne. 

Other vendors have been selling Pope Lee bobble heads, but no professional team has offered a giveaway until now.

The bobblehead depicts Pope Leo in a Cougars jersey over his everyday Papal outfit. 

From baseball cards to jerseys and now stadium giveaways, the Pope is quickly becoming a fan favorite at ballparks.
