Pope Leo XIV, from Chicago, previously known as Cardinal Robert Prevost, is definitely a fan of white sox.
Despite the claims of the Cubs of Chicago, he was firmly established in the hours which followed the election of Leo that he rooted the White Sox as he grows up, according to his brother and his photographic evidence of him in a world series match 2005.

And now, a White Sox fan, Sox on the 35th blogger Joe Binderhas found images of Leo clearly in the crowd of match 1 of this world series. He looks a little uncomfortable while the White Sox closer to Bobby Jenks closes a 5-3 victory against the Astros of Houston.
The White Sox would continue to sweep the astros for their first world series in 88 years.
This is the kind of thing you get when the College of Cardinals elects an American as Pope for the first time in history.

We did not know at the start of which Baseball Leo team was also partial as a result of the announcement of their promotion. It was natural to assume that he would like most of the Chicago teams, as well as his Alma Mater at Villanova University, but an apparently wrong report of ABC News led a lot to believe that he was a fan of Cubs, including the cubs themselves.

However, his brother later told WGN News that it was still the White Sox:
“He has never been, never a fan of the cubs, so I don't know where it came from. He was always a fan of the Sox. Our mother was a fan of cubs. I don't know, maybe it was added, and our father was a fan of cardinals, so I don't know where it comes from.”
A day later, the White Sox still celebrated.
We can only ask ourselves if Leo will become the first pope to launch the first throw in an MLB match.
