A Slice of the Action

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 5, 2005 at 4:15 PM

The baseball playoffs are upon us, and once again the Yankees are enabling hizzoner's gambling habit. The Bronx Bombers managed to scrape themselves into postseason play, prompting Bloomie to place a bet on the Yankees-Angels series with Anaheim's mayor, Curt Pringle.

If the Angels win, Mayor Mike will cough up "some of New York's best to the people of Anaheim, including two dozen hot dogs from Nathan's Famous, two pounds each of pastrami, corned beef and brisket, three loaves of jumbo seedless rye bread and two pounds of mustard from Katz's Deli, and two Pizza alla Vodka pies from Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza and Pasta. And for dessert, one 2.5 gallon container of Lemon Ice from the Lemon Ice King of Corona and plenty of cake from Parrilla Latina."

What will New Yorkers get if the Yanks win?

A crate of Anaheim chili peppers; a crate of Sunkist California oranges; merchandise from Disneyland's 50th anniversary, including a pair of golden Mickey Mouse ears; an autographed script from Fox Broadcasting Co.'s hit show "The O.C."; a surfboard from Huntington Beach-based Jack's Surfboards; a Halo Hybrid Utility Club from Cleveland Golf in Huntington Beach; $50 in gift certificates from Anaheim-based Pacific Sunwear; surf apparel from Newport Beach-based Toes on the Nose; sunglasses from San Juan Capistrano-based Hoven Sunglasses; swimwear from Newport Beach-based Tyler Rose Swimwear; a gift basket from Orange County-based Diedrich's Coffee; a case of boysenberry jam and a bucket of Mrs. Knott's chicken from Knott's Berry Farm.

Once again, our rival city gets the better deal if it wins the bet.
