The Chicago White Sox are set to unveil a graphic installation honoring Pope Leo XIV, the first pope from the U.S., who has a strong connection to the team. Born in Chicago, Prevost, the former Robert Prevost, is a lifelong White Sox fan and attended Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. The pillar artwork celebrates both him and the unifying nature of baseball. The team has embraced their link to the pope, sending gear to the Vatican and recently sharing in fans' humorous support with a group dressed as the pope at a game against the Cubs.
The graphic installation at Rate Field marks the location where the future pope cheered for Chicago in Game 1 of the 2005 World Series.
The Chicago-born missionary, who took the name Leo XIV, is a White Sox fan, according to his brother, John.
