NEW YORK—The scores of the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies at the World Series will determine the fate of Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, who made a first-of-its-kind bet on Tuesday.
The losing mayor will travel to the winning city to join the winning mayor in a volunteer service project, while wearing the winning team’s jersey. The loser will also need to provide free lunch from a local establishment for the volunteers working with the winning mayor.
“Over the past two seasons, the Phillies have been on an incredible ride, but the defending champs are about to become the former champs. The Yanks will be bringing the World Series title back to where it belongs—New York City,” said Bloomberg in a press release.
Win or lose, Bloomberg will join Publicolor to work with students to paint open spaces at Intermediate School 131, the Albert Einstein School in Bronx. Nutter will participate in the city of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program to paint a mural on the side of a Philadelphia recreation center.
