AJ Pierzynski Gifts 2005 World Series Ball to Pope Leo

Former baseball star AJ Pierzynski presented the last-out ball from Game 1 of the 2005 World Series as a special gift to Pope Leo. Pierzynski stated that the ball would be better at the Vatican with the Pope, who attended the game, rather than sitting on his wall.

This unique gesture has garnered significant appreciation within the sports world.
