Mayor vs Mayor, Governor vs Governor: The Bets Are In



The fun side of the lead up to a major sporting championship is when the politicians make their annual bet that usually involves some tasty foods and this year is no different.

The Boston Herald reports today on the bets between the Mayors of Boston and Denver as well as the Governors of Massachusetts and Colorado.

If the Rockies win, Menino will send out 100 cups of Legal Seafoods Clam Chowder, 100 cups of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, 100 Boston Creme donuts, 100 Brigham’s “Curse Reversed” Ice Cream Bars and 12 pints of Brigham’s “Boston You’re My Home” ice cream.

The article went on to say...

Meanwhile, the first brushback pitch of the World Series was thrown between the governors of the two states when when Bay State Gov. Deval Patrick said “I like you and I like Denver, but you’re going down, you do know that don’t you?” to Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter.

Patrick is putting up lobsters vs. beef from Ritter. The Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox open the Series tomorrow at Fenway Park.
