White Sox great Paul Konerko got a present from one No. 14 to another in honor of the 20th anniversary of the 2005 World Series championship run - a jersey signed by noted Chicago fan Pope Leo XIV .
Cardinal Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago, presented Konerko a jersey with the new pontiff's signature on the back during a ceremony prior to the game against the Cleveland Guardians. It had the six-time All-Star's last name and "Pope Leo" above the No. 14.
"It's kind of surreal," he said. "I'm sure my mom will ask for dibs on it."
Konerko said he was going to sign a jersey to be sent to Pope Leo.
"I'm not sure he's going to be as excited for mine to arrive, but we'll see," he said.
