Because of course the first American Pope has been to the World Series .
In case you didn’t know, the first American pope is a big baseball fan. He’s from Chicago, so naturally, he’s a big White Sox fan.
Pope Leo XIV has been on duty for a few days, and he’s already signing baseballs.
The White Sox website,Sox On 35th, unearthed a video of him in the crowd at Game One of the 2005 World Series:

The #1 reply to this video is: How the heck do you find something like this?
People in the replies are suggestion facial recognition software.
Another person thinks a family member reshared it on Facebook after the news.
This person blamed chronically online people.
And we have this person saying, “Look, White Sox fans rewatch this basically once a year. It’s all they have.”
But there’s a real explanation for this, the little kid in the video gave@JoeBinderthe hat tip.
Now he has the best fun fact for life.
