Gentile bets on Mets in wager with Chicago councilmember
The Mets and the Cubs aren’t the only people in competition with each other. Elected officials are getting into the act, too.
Councilmember Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst), a life-long New York Mets fan, has challenged Chicago City Councilmember Alderman James Cappleman, a passionate Chicago Cubs fan, to a friendly wager for National League Championship Series (NLCS) between the two teams.
The two elected officials spoke on the phone and engaged in friendly banter before agreeing on a bet.
