Pope Leo is saving Chicago sports

Since the Great Chicago Popening of May 25, 2025, good things have come upon the downtrodden Chicago sports scene:

June 2025: Hawks stay in top 3 by virtue of lottery rules, draft Anton Frondell.

July 2025: Justin Ishbia announced to buy minority stake in White Sox with long term deal to become majority owner.

December 2025: White Sox surprise baseball signing Munetaka Murakami

January 2026: Bears win 2025 NFCN division title, knock Green Bay out of the playoffs.

April/May 2026: Bulls fire AKME, move up to 4 in draft lottery in year with 4 clear top prospects.

May 2026: Cubs in 1st place and Sox at .500 and in the SECOND wildcard spot currently.

Things are pointing up. Through god, anything is possible. Jot that down.

Caleb Bonemer to 15 in mlb.com prospect rankings

“By contrast, Bonemer was expected to be at least an above-average power hitter, but he’s beating those expectations at High-A, where he’s gone deep 13 times through 33 games (one more homer than his 2025 total). That level of impact already overshadows some of the hit-tool risk with the White Sox stud.”
