He has clearly indicated he’s a White Sox fan.
Excellent! A Pope who roots for the underdogs is the best kind of pontiff!
He apparently got his start in STL, so obviously STL Cards.
Never mind, I figured it out:
I visited Chicago. Took a tour of Wrigley Field (where the Cubs play) and spent a little time in Wrigleyville (the surrounding area). I went to a White Sox game that evening (where my Blue Jays were playing). I got into a conversation with a gentleman in the seat behind me. He was talking disparagingly of the White Sox and I pointed that out, and he said “Oh I hate the White Sox. I’m only here because this is a free seat and a work outing.” The stands were very empty in the stadium. I don’t know if they offered stadium tours. I came away with the impression that the White Sox were a littler brother to the Cubs in Chicago than the Clippers are to the Lakers the or Mets are to the Yankees. So, if I was guessing, I’d guess a person affiliated with Chicago would be a Cubs fan if they’re a supporter of an MLB team in that city
I think it’s more of a South/north thing within Chicago. Also, white sox merch just looks cooler. Wrigley is the much better stadium though
