White Sox to unveil a graphic installation honoring Pope Leo XIV
- On Monday, the Chicago White Sox will reveal a new graphic display at Rate Field in honor of Pope Leo XIV, the first pope born in the United States.
- Robert Prevost, elected pope on May 8 and taking the name Leo XIV, grew up in Chicago and attended the 2005 World Series Game 1 at the site.
- The installation marks the location where Leo XIV cheered for the White Sox as they beat the Astros 5-3 in a four-game sweep, and commemorates his Chicago roots and baseball's global influence.
- The White Sox reported that Pope Leo XIV was present at the game alongside the late Ed Schmit, who was both a close family acquaintance and a longtime season ticket holder, and the team also sent a jersey and cap to the Vatican.
- Although the White Sox have faced difficulties on the field lately, supporters have shown enthusiasm for their association with Pope Leo XIV, with some dressing as the pope while attending games, including a recent 13-3 defeat against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
