On April 9th, Chicago White Sox are honoring their biggest fan in Holy Style. For the game against the Cincinnati Reds on August 11th, their handing out limited edition hats shaped like a Pope's miter, complete with the Team Sox logo right in the center. Fans nag these only if they buy tickets straight from the team, and special sections dubbed the Puse. Pope Leo the 14th, the first American Pope and a Chicago native, has been riding for the Sox forever. He caught the 2005 World Series opener, live from Section 140, Row 19, seat two, watching his squad smash Houston 5-2. Three in route to their first title since 1917. The team keeps the love going strong. Back in May, they unveiled a pillar graphic near that legendary seat, showing the Pope waving with picks from the broadcast alongside his buddy Ed, Schmidt and grandson Eddie. That spot's become a shrine for Sox faithful. June brought a stadium batch celebrating his election as Pope. Then in July, during a pregame nod to the 2005 Champs, White Sox legend Paul Kinerko

got a jersey signed by his holiness himself, number 14 to number 14. This Pope don't play by Vatican rules. He rocked a Sox cap last year, yelled they lost at a cub's shelter, and just weeks back flash a thumbs up to a, God bless the White Sox call, pure fandom crossing all boundaries.
