White Sox to hand out pope-inspired hats

Wow!

Pope Leo XIV caught the baseball world’s attention last year when people found out he’s a huge White Sox fan and even went to Game 1 of the 2005 World Series in Chicago. He was later seen wearing a White Sox cap during a public appearance at the Vatican, which isn’t something you usually see from a pope.

Now, the team is planning to honor their most famous fan with a special giveaway at Rate Field later this year. The pope-themed hats were first supposed to be a special-ticket item, and they’re designed to look like the Pope’s miter but with a White Sox logo on them.
