As the Cleveland Indians begin their pursuit of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, Cleveland State University has accepted a friendly cross-border ALCS wager with Huntington University, located in Greater Sudbury, Ontario.
The wager was put forward by Huntington University President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Kevin McCormick – a life-long Toronto Blue Jays Fan.
Cleveland State University President Ronald M. Berkman didn’t hesitate and accepted quickly.
This clearly is Cleveland’s year, after the Cavaliers ended our city’s championship drought this summer,” said Dr. Berkman. “We have full confidence in our beloved baseball team and are certain that the Canadian maple syrup will arrive here in no time.”
Dr. McCormick meanwhile is confident Bertman’s Ballpark mustard will make the journey to Canada.
The best-of-seven series will determine the American League pennant winner and representative in the 2016 World Series. The Cleveland Indians have not won the Series since 1948 the second longest drought in the majors after the Chicago Cubs.
