Even after watching his White Sox suffer three consecutive 100-loss seasons, Pope Leo XIV can still take satisfaction in ridiculing Cubs fans.
During an appearance at the Vatican, someone in the crowd yelled, “Go Cubs!” Without missing a beat, Pope Leo XIV retorted, “Han perdido. They lost!”
The pope was referring to the Cubs’ loss in the National League Division Series to the Brewers. The Cubs finished the regular season 92-70.
Despite the downtrodden state of Sox, the first American-born pope has been open about his fandom. In June, he wore a Sox hat given to him by a Massachusetts couple.
Pope Leo XIV attended Game 1 of the 2005 World Series, watching from Section 40, Row 19, Seat 2. He had a signed jersey delivered to former White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, one of the most well-liked and decorated players in team history.
In a year in which he rose to national prominence, the pope ensured that his Sox affinity was recognized.
Alomar broke into the big leagues in 1964 with the Milwaukee Braves, one of six teams he played for. He also spent time with the New York Mets, White Sox, California Angels, New York Yankees and Texas Rangers before calling it a career in 1978.
