At first glance, I thought this was a joke. I had to check the White Sox site to be sure it was true.

For sure. It will always be unique to the Whie Sox. It is a great addition to any White Sox collection. Good idea from the marketing department. Also as you said a likely sellout.

Originally it was going to be a special ticket purchase, but that screwed over season ticket holders. Now just a normal giveaway

I bought through the special ticket purchase and now it says that I will get something extra in addition to the pope hat. My wife said "it will probably be one of those White Sox schedule magnets"

Probably the last time this year the White Sox make a headline CNN article.

"While every pope has an international following, it’s logical to assume that Leo might matter more not just to American Catholics, but to Americans in general. The criticisms might sound different coming from the Chicago White Sox fan who speaks in unaccented English.

And indeed, polling has suggested the pope is overwhelmingly popular with Americans.

He was the most popular national figure of 14 people tested by Gallup last summer. And Americans viewed him positively by a 5-to-1 margin in an NBC News poll last month."

As a true White Sox fan he is used to speaking up for the down trodden disadvantaged!
