Govs. Hochul, Newsom announce friendly wager for Yankees-Dodgers World Series

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have announced a friendly wager for this year’s World Series matchup between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The bet was announced Friday on their respective Twitter/X accounts.

If the Yankees win, Newsom will display Yankees memorabilia in his office for one day. If the Dodgers win, Hochul will display Dodgers memorabilia in her office for one day.

“Here’s my wager to you Governor Newsom: If it turns out that I win — and I will — I’ll be requiring that you display some Yankees memorabilia in your office,” Gov. Hochul said. “If the opposite occurs, we’ll talk about that then, but I’d have to do the same for you. Let’s play ball!”

“Game on, Governor Hochul! While I respect the Yankees’ storied history, California knows how to win championships. As a proud San Franciscan, you won’t hear me say this often, but this year: Go Dodgers!” Gov. Newsom said.

The 2024 World Series will mark the twelfth meeting between the two teams.
