Summary
Vatican City received a White Sox-branded pope hat for Pope Leo after the team’s Aug. 11 promotion, with Fr. T. Becket A. Franks posting on X that it had arrived.
Thousands of the papal-style hats were handed out at a White Sox game against the Cincinnati Reds earlier this month, turning the giveaway into an unusually high-profile MLB promotion.
The novelty item now links the Chicago club to the first American pope, adding to attention around a team the report says is leading the AL Central and trending toward the postseason.
