The Chicago White Sox have unveiled a new graphic installation in honor of their historic connection to Father Bob, the newly elected Pope Leo XIV, who sat in Section 140 during Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. The tribute not only celebrates the pope's roots as a White Sox fan but also commemorates his friendship with longtime fan Ed Schmit, who passed away in 2020. The team is planning to further honor the seat occupied by the future pontiff during a crucial moment in their championship run, intertwining sports history with personal stories.
A lot of this is about the White Sox. It should be more about what kind of guy the pope is; he's been in places that are so poor, just trying to help other people.
When people come into the ballpark, it's an interesting piece of our history and they're going to want to see it.
