Pope Leo XIV stunned onlookers in St. Peter’s Square with an unexpected wardrobe twist, swapping his traditional zucchetto for a Chicago White Sox baseball cap. The American-born pontiff made the switch while blessing newlyweds Kelly DeStefano and Gary, who had brought the cap from their hometown. The moment unfolded during the couple’s honeymoon trip to Rome for the papal “sposi novelli” blessing. With a smile, the Pope wore the cap for a quick photo, creating what’s now being called the first time a pope publicly repped MLB fan gear. The White Sox immediately shared the viral moment, while social media exploded with reactions. Some joked, “Good to see him supporting the poorest,” while others unearthed old footage from the 2005 World Series, proving Pope Leo’s Sox loyalty runs deep.
