The stakes for the 2024 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees now include an unexpected wager by the two senior Catholic prelates for the opposing sides.
Los Angeles Archbishop José H. Gomez and New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan announced the spirited wager on the morning of 25 October, just hours before Game 1 at the Dodger Stadium baseball park in Los Angeles, reportsAngelus, the news outlet of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
The wager, announced along with a snazzy YouTube short, means that if the Dodgers win the World Series, Cardinal Dolan must send Archbishop Gomez a box of New York-style bagels. If the Yankees win, Archbishop Gomez must send Cardinal Dolan a box of donuts from the LA institution of Randy’s Donuts.
