MORGANTOWN — Only a few hours had passed Sunday since the WVU baseball team had missed an opportunity to close out an outright Big 12 championship.
A 14-9 loss against Kansas State was still fresh on most minds. For that matter, maybe too were the ninth-inning debacles that came days earlier against the Wildcats and Pitt that resulted in two walk-off defeats when the Mountaineers appeared assured of victory.

Once loyal Chicagoans got over the double shock of hearing that a local native, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, has been named the 267th pope, some critically important, locally familiar questions came up:
Which parish is he from?
Sox fan or Cubs fan?
And what bearing will his papacy have on the Great Pizza Schism, under which the local deep-dish faithful have suffered the odium of thin-crust New Yorkers?

He was born at Mercy
