What are the devout to do? It is a bit late for a conversion for most of us. Two decades ago, I was asked by an innocent editor to write a column on the White Sox making the World Series in 2005. After all, I was his only Chicagoan. I tried. I tried very, very hard for two days. I then called him to explain that I could not do it.
Pope Leo as a White Sox fan is a crisis of faith for Northsiders.
Go here to read the rest. Maybe only God can resolve this dispute:
My children, there is no need to fight. God loves and honors all ball players in Cook County equally.
Sincerely,
God (Season Ticket Holder No. One for the Saint Louis Cardinals)
