Chicago mayor bets sausages, nuts
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley has responded to the wager issued by St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker, Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio and Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard.
Daley’s “Take Me Out to the Ball Game’’ wager offers food, soft drinks and sporting goods from Chicago companies.
The package includes 100 Polish sausages from Vienna Beef; chips from C.J. Vitner Co.; Lemonheads candy from Ferrara Pan Candy; a “Pepsi for a year’’ certificate from Pepsi Americas; and peanuts, sunflower seeds and trail mix from Fisher Nuts.
Wilson Sporting Goods will donate baseball bats and gloves, balls, softballs, equipment bags and protective equipment for 150 young people in the city of the winning team.
A press release said Daley is placing his bet “with great confidence.’’
