Who knew?

In an article about Ryne Sandberg's upcoming induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame it was pointed out that there have been more popes of the Catholic Church than there have been players elected to the Hall...

Sandberg soon came to realize he was joining a very exclusive club: He and '05 classmate Wade Boggs are the 192nd and 193rd players among the Hall's 260 members. The Roman Catholic Church (265) has had more popes."
