Class act!!!

It appears the new Pope, Leo XIV, really IS a Chicago White Sox fan!

In a reversal of roles, a fan has signed a jersey for a pro athlete.

Pope Leo XIV had a signed jersey delivered to former Chicago White Sox great Paul Konerko.

Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich presented Konerko a jersey with the new pontiff's signature on the back during a ceremony before a game against the Cleveland Guardians. It had the six-time All-Star's last name and "Pope Leo" above the No. 14.

Full article, HERE from Fox News. And the story from the Chicago Tribune, HERE.

I don't know about anybody else, but I think that is a pretty neat gesture, and shows the Pope still has a sense of humor! And still likes the White Sox!

I don't follow baseball anymore, but I don't think even the Pope can help them this year... They are 27 games out of 1st in their division, and winning less than 50% of their games right now...

Sigh...
