Governors bet pizza and beer on World Series

COLUMBUS – Ohio Gov. John Kasich and his counterpart in Illinois have made their on the World Series between the Indians and Cubs, which gets underway Tuesday night in Cleveland.

In a Monday tweet on his Twitter page, Republican Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner wagered an extra-large Chicago-style deep-dish pizza and a case of microbrew beer from Chicago if the Indians win.

In a response on his Twitter page, Kasich says he would send Rauner “fan favorites” should the Cubs win: Great Lakes Brewing Company beer, Bertman Original Ball Park Mustard and other products from Cleveland, according to a report at Cleveland.com.


They’re not the only lawmakers making wagers. Ohio U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown bet Illinois U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin a case of Platform Beer on the Indians.
