U.S. senators for Pennsylvania and New York are engaging in some sports betting using local delicacies as currency for their World Series betting.

If the Yankees win, Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand will win a supply of Philadelphia cheesesteaks.

If the Philadelphia Phillies win, Senators Arlen Specter and Robert Casey will get some cheesecakes from Junior's world-famous cheesecakes.

The fun bets made by the senators have also taken a charitable turn. If the Yankees lose, New York City's Hunts Point Terminal Market has made a promise to donate local produce to a Philadelphia food bank. If the Phillies lose, the Philadelphia Regional Produce Market will send food to a New York City food bank.

It's good to see politicians and businesses having fun with the World Series betting! The World Series action begins on Wednesday night in New York. Be sure to get all your World Series odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
