de Blasio settles WC bet, dons Giants jersey

NEW YORK — Consider Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bet settled. The New York City mayor, a Red Sox fan himself, shrugged on a San Francisco Giants Willie Mays jersey in the MLB.com studio in Manhattan on Monday, honoring a friendly wager with San Francisco mayor Ed Lee over the outcome of this year’s National League Wild Card Game.

Before the Mets and Giants faced off in the postseason earlier this month, the two mayors took to Twitter to predict a win for their city, prompting a bet centered on Mays, one of baseball’s most iconic players, who played for both franchises. If New York won, Mayor Lee would have to wear Mays’ Mets jersey; if San Francisco won, Mayor de Blasio would wear Mays’ Giants jersey.
