White Sox expand plans for giveaway of pope-themed hats
The team will give the pope-themed hats to all fans after an overwhelming response, while specialty ticket holders also get an extra item.
- The Chicago White Sox announced Friday they are expanding the pope-themed hat giveaway to all fans attending the August 11 game against the Cincinnati Reds.
- Pope Leo XIV, a Chicago native and longtime fan, attended the 2005 World Series opener against the Houston Astros, witnessing the team's historic 5-3 victory and first title since 1917.
- Originally limited to specialty theme night ticket holders, the White Sox Pope Hat is shaped like a miter with the team's sock logo in the middle.
- "The fans have spoken," said Brooks Boyer, the team's chief revenue and marketing officer, confirming that specialty ticket buyers will receive the hat plus an additional item.
- Pope Leo broke Vatican protocol last year by donning a team cap and recently shouted at Cubs supporters, displaying his passionate Chicago loyalty beyond the stadium.
