As the Popemobile approached the White Sox admirers, Pope Leo XIV — who hails from the Windy City — could be seen mouthing, “White Sox,” as captured in a video shared by TikTok user jacobusch.clan. This show of support comes days after Pope Leo XIV rocked a White Sox cap while greeting other visitors, including a bride and groom.

Pope Leo XIV joined in with fans chanting “White Sox” as he greeted visitors to the Vatican. A clip from what appears to be St Peter’s Square shows the Pope waving to supporters as he is driven through the crowd. A group can be heard chanting “White Sox, White Sox!”, the baseball team that the Pope, who is originally from Chicago, supports.
