Serrano/Holden/Brady Place 'High-Steaks' Bet on World Series

On the Eve of the World Series, Congressman Serrano, Tim Holden (D-PA) and Robert Brady (D-PA) announced the details of their high-stakes, winner-take-all wager on the 2009 Yankees/Phillies World Series. Local food products form the tangible prize, but the bragging rights are the real takeaway. If the Phillies win, Serrano will give Holden and Brady a coveted gift basket from Mike’s Deli on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. Meanwhile, Holden agreed to provide cheesesteaks for Serrano if the Yankees come out on top. Brady says he will kick in South Philly cheesesteaks as well but he will up the ante by adding, soft pretzels and Tastykakes for his colleagues and their staffers.
