Leone XIV Prevost

Leone XIV Prevost is the first American pope, hailing from Illinois, and has recently garnered attention for his baseball fandom. While the Chicago Cubs initially claimed him as a supporter due to his mother's allegiance, his brother John clarified that Prevost is actually a fan of the Chicago White Sox. This revelation sparked excitement among White Sox fans, who celebrated their connection to the pontiff and even sent him team merchandise. In addition to his sports interests, Prevost is an amateur tennis player and has expressed a desire to return to the court despite his new responsibilities as pope.
