Pope touches Chicago Fire soccer ball; MLS Cup inevitable
La Grange native William Morkin went to Italy to give the Pope a Chicago Fire soccer ball. Awesome. - Chicago FireWilliam Morkin is now a club legend at only 7 years old. The La Grange native presented the Pope, the most holy man on Earth, with a Chicago Fire soccer ball. Morkin has saved us all.
Get to know the name William Morkin folks. He is the beginning of the Chicago Fire's run to the 2016 MLS Cup.
Little Billy from La Grange pulled off perhaps the best offseason move of all time by presenting a Chicago Fire soccer ball to Pope Francis, who proceeded to lay his holy hands all over it. How did such a divine encounter happen?
