According to an Associated Press report, the governors of New York and Missouri are continuing a years-long tradition by placing a friendly wager on the outcome of the World Series.
As the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals get set to meet in the best-of-seven series beginning on Tuesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has agreed to wear a Royals jersey for a full day of work if they win, while Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon will wear a Mets jersey if New York takes it.
“Each governor has also prepared a basket of home state goodies, including ribs from Kansas City and bagels from Queens. The winning governor gets the basket.”
Cuomo said there is no doubt in his mind the Mets win it all. Nixon said that this year is the Royals’ year.
You guys down for some ribs???
