Where Pope Leo XIV Watched the White Sox

Pope Leo XIV, born as American citizen* Robert Francis Prevost, grew up in the Chicago area and therefore is a devoted fan of the White Sox baseball team--even performing the traditional chant while in full papal regalia.

In 2005, Prevost attended Game 1 of the World Series. He was recorded on camera doing so, thus we can know precisely which at Rate Field he sat in. The venue has marked the location.

*Whether he is now is apparently a fascinatingly complex legal question.
