White Sox gift Chicago native Pope Leo XIV a team-branded mitre
The Chicago White Sox have given their most holy fan, Pope Leo XIV, an official White Sox mitre. Check it out here.
The Chicago White Sox are experiencing an extraordinary season after a string of disappointing performances over the past three years. Now sitting atop the AL Central division with a mere 30 games remaining, the team's rapid turnaround has left many puzzled. While the addition of talented players such as Colson Montgomery, Braden Montgomery, and Munetaka Murakami contributed to their success, it wasn't enough to transform the struggling franchise overnight.
It appears as though the White Sox may have been blessed with a touch of divine intervention. On Thursday, August 27, the organization bestowed a White Sox-branded mitre, a tall ceremonial hat typically worn by popes, upon renowned fan and Chicago native Pope Leo XIV. This gesture of goodwill came as a thank you note for the faithful supporter who likely offered daily prayers to the team.
