Chicago sports fans wasted no time jumping on the bandwagon.

“Need to know if he’ll be a Cubs Pope or a White Sox pope,” another X user said, while yet another offered an addition to the beleaguered White Sox stadium fare.

“In honor of Chicago’s own Pope Leo XIV, the White Sox announce the new “White Smoke Shake” that will be served in a commemorative pope hat.”
