Pope Leo Keeps One Loyalty for the White Sox

Pope Leo blesses every dugout equally, but Robert Prevost, the man who wears the title, still saves a particular warmth for the Chicago White Sox. His love of the game has become one of the most appealing things the public knows about him. Anyone hoping to see the Holy Father on the mound, ball in hand, making the ceremonial throw before an opening inning will have to wait, because that appearance isn't expected soon. Anyone on the island who has kept the same seats for years will understand why that kind of loyalty doesn't change with a title.
