There is a new landmark at the home of the Chicago White Sox — Section 140, Row 19, Seat 2. That's where Father Bob — the future Pope Leo XIV — sat for Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. The White Sox unveiled a graphic installation Monday that pays tribute to the new pontiff and that moment during their last championship run.

With the Yankees and Mets considered championship contenders in the season’s early going, a repeat of 2000 is within the realm of possibility.
