I heard we have a new pope. I don’t know what his name was before he was pope but he’s gonna go by Pope Leo going forward. Is Leo a name he had in mind for years, hoping to be able to use it if he became pope some day? Or did he choose it on the spot when he was named pope? Is there a committee to come up with the name, or does he do that on his own? Did his mother (Happy Mother's Day!) have any input? (“Sonny, if you ever become pope, you should choose the name Leo.”) What’s his sign? Is he a Leo? Was he born between July 23rd and August 22nd?
He’s from Chicago and he’s a White Sox fan. Somebody dug up a video of Leo at the 2005 World Series. Cool. Baseball’s most famous Leo of course was Leo Durocher. But Leo managed the crosstown Cubs, not the White Sox. Unfortunately, there just aren’t that many famous White Sox so I’ll give Leo a pass there.
I hope he doesn’t wear that tall pope hat to the games. It would be cool to sit behind the pope but I’d still want to be able to see the game.
