Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker issues wager to Houston Mayor over Rangers-Astros ALCS
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker and Arlington Mayor Jim Ross have issued a challenge to Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner ahead of the Texas Rangers American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros.
The ALCS will pit American League West and instate rivals against each other for the first time in the MLB playoffs.
The challenge was issued on Thursday when the city of Arlington’s X account, formerly Twitter, suggested the loser would have to wear the winning team’s jersey in the city council meeting.
Parker followed up saying she wanted in on the wager.
Turner responded by accepting Ross’ challenge while boasting the Astros had won two titles already during his time as Houston’s mayor.
