Pizza, barbecue on the line in World Series wager between governors
Reporting from Sacramento — Major League Baseball’s World Series is underway and the bets are in – between California Gov. Jerry Brown and Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon.
If the Kansas City Royals beat the San Francisco Giants in the series, Brown promised to buy Nixon dinner at Tommaso’s -- home of San Francisco’s oldest wood-fired pizza oven.
If the Giants take the series, Nixon will buy Brown dinner at Kansas City’s Gates Bar B.Q.
The wager was consummated, of course, on Twitter.
Brown added a few hashtags to his tweet -- #OrangeOctober #GoGiants -- that may not be too well received in Los Angeles Dodger territory.
