Gambling some toasted ravioli against clam chowder is apparently a difficult, timely procedure, because St. Louis mayor Francis Slay refuses to make the customary mayoral bets for the World Series, saying “that frees up time of my staffers.”
St. Louis mayor refuses World Series mayoral bet
There’s no time for silly bets when you’re the mayor of the Best Fans in Baseball.™
No mayoral sports bet. I would, however, welcome a visit here from @mayortommenino. #fgs

The non-betting platform is a stance Slay has held since the NLCS, too:
No mayoral sports bets this post-season. That frees up time of staffers. Plus, it isn't fair to other mayors. #fgs

The P-D is again proving that its sports department covers baseball better than any paper in the country. #fgs

It’s only fair that the best fans in baseball get the best mayor in politics, too.
