The Chicago White Sox are celebrating a unique moment of sportsmanship and humor. On October 15, 2025, Pope Leo XIV, the head of the Catholic Church, made a playful reference to the Chicago Cubs' recent loss during a visit to the Vatican. When a fan shouted 'Go Cubs', the Pope responded with a witty quip, 'Han perdido!', meaning 'They lost!' This light-hearted moment didn't go unnoticed by the White Sox, who took to social media to praise the Pope's comment, captioning it as 'That's our Pope'.
This isn't the first time the Pope has shown his love for baseball. He's a known White Sox fan and has even autographed a baseball during his tenure as His Holiness. The Cubs, on the other hand, are still reeling from their loss to the Brewers in the NLDS. Despite this, the White Sox's playful acknowledgment of the Pope's comment and his connection to the sport is a heartwarming display of sportsmanship and a reminder that even in the world of professional sports, a little humor and respect can go a long way.
