A man at a baseball game who ridiculed the dead mother of the Arizona Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte has been banned by the White Sox and Major League Baseball indefinitely, the league confirmed Wednesday.

James Shields being the figurehead of the 2016 White Sox collapse and the worst trade in franchise history has actually made a lot of fans forget about his other role in baseball infamy.

So one could say that Pope Leo is both a Cubs and White Sox fan as a matter of history and culture. Now, I can almost hear readers expressing skepticism, if not contempt, at my theory.
