The White Sox will commemorate Pope Leo XIV attending one of the 2005 World Series games with a graphic installation in the section where he sat.

A mural of Pope Leo XIV sits atop Section 140, where he sat during Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. "I think now the most famous seat belongs to the pope," a team official said.

The White Sox unveiled a graphic installation Monday that pays tribute to the new pontiff and that moment during their last championship run. The pillar artwork features a waving Pope Leo XIV, along with a picture from the TV broadcast of the future pope sitting with good friend Ed Schmit and his grandson, Eddie.

Pope Leo XIV holds his first general audience in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday, issuing an appeal for Gaza, which he calls an “increasingly worrying and painful” situation, harming children, elderly, and the sick in particular.

The Chicago White Sox, the team which Pope Leo XIV rooted for in his life before the Vatican, honored the new pontiff and the place where he sat during the 2005 World Series.

If you thought the city was running out of stories about the pope and the White Sox, well, this could go on for Pope Leo XIV’s entire tenure in the Vatican. We still don’t know exactly how he likes his Italian beef or who his favorite ’85 Bears player was.

Amid conflicting reports about which Windy City team the new pope roots for, Chico Harlan of the Washington Post noted Friar Joseph Farrell texted Pope Leo and received a one-word response confirming that he's a Chicago White Sox fan.

It’s the biggest victory for the struggling Chicago White Sox in a long time. Pope Leo XIV is a White Sox fan — and the organization is embracing the news.

Pope Leo XIV was honored Monday by his favorite baseball team, the Chicago White Sox. Robert Prevost became the first pope from the U.S. in the history of the Catholic Church when he was elected on May 8.
