(CHICAGO) — Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser Friday made a friendly wager on the outcome of the Major League Baseball National League Division Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Washington Nationals.
The Mayors will wager local delicacies on the outcome of the series, and the losing Mayor will also make a donation to Puerto Rican hurricane relief effort.
“The Chicago Cubs are on a roll, and there is no doubt that they will Fly the W and take the series,” Mayor Emanuel said. “But in the extremely unlikely event that the Cubs are not victorious, I thought my friend Mayor Bowser would enjoy some great local delicacies from the best restaurant city in America.”
Mayor Emanuel is wagering sausage from Publican Quality Meats, prime bone-in ribeye steaks from Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse and two growlers of Vice District Brewing Co’s Habitual beer.
“With our all-star lineup and home field advantage, I am confident that that Nationals will come out of this series victorious,” Mayor Bowser said. “I was already looking forward to celebrating our win, and now I can also look forward to enjoying some of Chicago’s most delicious treats.”
D.C. Mayor Bowser is wagering half-smokes, a local sausage and beer from a local brewery.
