How cool is this!?
On Oct. 22, 2005, Father Robert Prevost (now Pope Leo XIV) attended Game 1 of the World Series. The game was between the Houston Astros and the Chicago White Sox.
The Chicago White Sox won this game in their first World Series victory since 1959.
The video of then-Father Robert Prevost surfaced several times over the last year. It circulated again this month after Sox On 35th’s X account published it.
Here’s the video of future Pope Leo XIV attending the World Series in 2005 at Rate Field in Chicago, Illinois:
