Tadahito Iguchi. Esteban Loaiza. Liam Hendriks. Todos ellos son jugadores de los Chicago White Sox de antaño que el Papa León XIV conoce sin duda alguna. Podría seguir con las menciones, sobre todo porque sé mucho más del equipo profesional de beisbol de Estados Unidos que del papado, pero te ahorraré la lista de nombres al azar. Herbert Perry. Okay, ése era el último.

Tadahito Iguchi. Esteban Loaiza. Liam Hendriks. These are all Chicago White Sox of yore that the literal Pope has definitely heard of. I could keep going—mostly because I know much more about the White Sox than the papacy—but I’ll spare you the procession of random guys. Herbert Perry. Okay, that was the last one. I am racking my brain for the names of random middling baseball players because, you see, the Pope wore a White Sox hat yesterday.

Every night, once I get tucked into bed and start counting sheep, my brain is flooded with the same thought: Is there a way I could be doing this better? As a single, childless person in my late 20s, I admittedly have very few barriers to slumber. There’s no snoring, blanket thief on the other side of the bed or overzealous tyke who wants to start their day with an episode of Bluey at 5 a.m. Still, I rarely get the type of blissful rest I so desire.

Bryce Young is aware that many people view him, and every other football player, as emotionless, gladiator figures. As a Carolina Panthers quarterback who has won a Heisman and was once a number one overall draft pick, discussing his mental health can be taboo. But Young, 23, is part of a new generation of athletes who no longer fear the backlash of admitting when they’re not okay.

Tyrese Haliburton has a weird-looking jump shot. Compared to his NBA peers, in fact, almost nothing about his game marks him as a prototypical superstar. He’s not smooth like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He’s not a sicko like Luka Doncic. He doesn’t play with the same adamantine, dead-eyed style that makes Nikola Jokic so fascinating, and he’s also not a shit-talking alpha who wants to dunk you through the floorboards like Anthony Edwards.
