Mayor Francis Slay placed a friendly wager with Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick today on the outcome of the World Series.

Mayor Slay bet the following items: Photo op wearing a Detroit Tigers jersey, a case of Budweiser, Hostess products from Interstate Brands, wings from Culpeppers, bread and cookies from Missouri Baking, a case of Switzer cherry licorice, and TUMS (to help ease the pain of defeat).

Mayor Kilpatrick bet the following items: Photo op wearing a St. Louis Cardinals jersey, a case of Vernors ginger ale soda, Better Made potato chips, Sanders hot fudge topping, and Avalon International bread.

“The Cardinals pitching is simply dominating opposing batters right now. I’m confident Suppan, Carpenter, Weaver, and Wainwright will shut down the Tigers offense. After the Cardinals dispose of the Tigers, I’ll look forward to a parade on Market Street in downtown St. Louis," Mayor Slay said.
