Overview

  • The White Sox announced Wednesday a limited-run giveaway of a team-branded miter hat for the Aug. 11 game against the Reds.
  • The offer applies only to buyers in five designated “pews” sections at Guaranteed Rate Field, and tickets must be purchased directly from the team.
  • A miter is the tall ceremonial hat worn by a pope, and the giveaway version features the White Sox logo on the front.
  • CBSS Chicago reported the hats will be shipped to purchasers rather than handed out at the park to prevent blocked views.
  • A local outlet reported the special-ticket package sold out, as the promotion joins a wider 2026 themed-night slate and extends the club’s tributes to Chicago native and longtime fan Pope Leo XIV, who attended Game 1 of the 2005 World Series.
