St. Louis (KSDK) — U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay is betting beer on a St. Louis Cardinals victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS to advance to the World Series.
U.S. Representatives Gwen Moore (D-WI) and Wm. Lacy Clay (D-MO) made the wager ahead of game three at Busch Stadium.
If the St. Louis Cardinals win, Congresswoman Moore will provide Congressman Clay’s staff with a case of Budweiser and a selection of Milwaukee’s finest bratwurst.
If the Milwaukee Brewers win, Rep. Clay will provide Rep. Gwen Moore’s staff with a case of Miller High Life and deep dish pizza from Pi, a legendary St. Louis pizzeria favored by President Obama.
“There is no doubt that the Brewers will win the next three games, but I need to call Brewers Manager Ron Roenicke right away and tell him just how dire this situation is,” Rep. Moore said. “I am loathe to purchase Budweiser. The only beer I ever buy or drink is High Life.”
“The Cardinals are on a roll; Albert is awesome; Chris Carpenter is warming up; and the Rally Squirrel is ready, said Congressman Clay. And I am surprised to learn that they actually brew beer in Milwaukee!”
The Brewers and Cardinals are tied in the series at one game apiece.
