New York, Los Angeles archbishops place World Series wager to benefit Catholic schools
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees are currently going head to head in this year’s World Series. The last time the two popular teams faced each other on baseball’s biggest stage was in 1981.
As baseball fans across the country watch the series unfold, Archbishop José Gómez of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and Cardinal Timothy Dolan of the Archdiocese of New York are also taking part in the excitement as they root for their home teams.
On Oct. 25, the two Catholic prelates announced a friendly wager involving New York-style bagels being sent to Gómez if the Dodgers win and Randy’s Donuts being sent to Dolan if the Yankees win.
