White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf jokes he may convert to Catholicism after playoff series win, letter from the Pope

Following a postseason series victory over the Houston Astros, Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf joked about converting to Catholicism in light of a recent message from Pope Leo XIV. The pontiff, a native of Chicago and a noted supporter of the ballclub, had previously sent correspondence thanking Reinsdorf for a message sent the prior month.

Although the note did not explicitly reference the postseason competition, the timing boosted spirits as the team secured a two-game sweep to claim their first playoff series triumph since the 2005 championship run. The victory advances the franchise to the upcoming American League Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians.
