The Philadelphia Phillies will give away Pope Francis rookie cards during their game against the Washington Nationals Thursday. The Pope will visit the City of Brotherly Love on September 27.
The Pope, who will instantly become at least the third most recognizable member of the Phillies roster, was assigned #266.
Unfortunately, MLB Shop only allows two numbers on the back of a custom jersey.
Pope Francis will host Mass to celebrate the World Meeting of Families 2015 at 4 p.m. on Sunday the 27th. Earlier that day, the Phillies will face the Washington Nationals at home.
