June 26Jun 26 “Hi, I’m A.J. Pierzynski,” the former major-league catcher recalled telling Pope Leo XIV.“Oh, I know who you are. You don’t have to introduce yourself,” the pope replied. [...]Former White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko previously gifted the pontiff a signed jersey with “Pope Leo” written on the back. The pope also has a bat that once belonged to Hall of Famer Nellie Fox, who spent most of his career with the White Sox, and other memorabilia from Chicago’s pro teams.His reaction to receiving the ball Pierzynski caught to end Game 1?“Oh my gosh, he was like, ‘This is unbelievable.’ He was like, ‘No way, this is the ball?’ And he literally said, ‘I was at Game 2, too. But nobody knows that. They didn’t find me.’” [...]“It was kind of as I was walking away,” Pierzynski said. “I said, ‘Hey, White Sox are in first place.’“He just looked at me and goes, ‘Oh, I’m watching and paying attention, don’t worry.’ And he just kind of smiled at me.”
