Baseball fans across New York City are closely watching the Yankees take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the baseball World Series. 

Now, the archbishops of both cities have a friendly wager on the game: New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan and L.A’s Archbishop José Gómez have a bet going.

If the Yankees win the World Series, L.A. will send some famous Randy’s Donuts to the Big Apple. But if the Yankees lose, New York will send bagels to the City of Angels. 

Both bishops will also donate to charities as part of the wager–New York is playing for John Cardinal O’Connor School, which brings a Catholic education to kids with learning differences.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles is playing for the Catholic Education Foundation of L.A.
