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.

The Chicago White Sox unveiled a mural in honor of Pope Leo XIV in commemoration of his attendance at the 2005 World Series.

Pope Leo XIV, who was elected as the first American pontiff in the more than 2000-year history of the office on May 8, is confirmed to be a White Sox fan. He is originally from the South Side of Chicago and was miraculously spotted on TV at Game 1 of the World Series in 2005.
