Pope Leo’s baseball fandom is trending again today. His Holiness was seen wearing a White Sox hat at the Vatican, and baseball social media channels have been reacting to the news all day.
The Chicago native has spoken about his White Sox fandom, which was confirmed by his brothers shortly after he was named Pope in May. This just puts a powerful visual to the notion that he is South Side to his core.
“@Pontifex representing his favorite squad,” the White Sox Tweeted.
This weekend, there will be a Pope Leo celebration at Rate Field in Chicago.
