Vatican Blessing Boosts Sox

White Sox credit a blessing from the Vatican for their historic playoff victory

The Chicago White Sox have won their first playoff series since 2005, their first since 2005. The team believes their fan in the Vatican may have been the crucial boost they needed after revealing Pope Leo's letter expressing "Almighty abundant blessing" to them. The victory feels more sacred now that the team has revealed Pope Leo’s letter. NPR does not offer or accept money for coverage or interviews, and does not represent NPR.
