Pope Leo XIV showed in the most public way possible that he is a White Sox fan.
A photo taken at the Vatican on Wednesday showed him supporting his team.
The Chicago White Sox provided a photo of the pope wearing a White Sox hat.
It happened during his weekly general audience.
It’s not known who handed the hat to the Chicago-born leader of the world’s one billion Roman Catholics.
The former Cardinal Robert Prevost famously attended Game 1 of the World Series in 2005.
There’s now a mural at Rate Field near where he sat for that game.
On Saturday, a video message from Pope Leo will play during a sold-out celebration and Mass at the ballpark.
The big celebration starts around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.
