Mayor Sylvester Turner collects on Astros World Series wager

Before the series, Turner reached out to Kenney and laid down the stakes. If the Astros had lost, Turner would have sent Kenney chicken and waffles from The Breakfast Klub, Dome Faux'm beer from 8th Wonder Brewery and a donation to Philadelphia's Mighty Writers program.

Turner didn't have to bring any of that to the mayors' conference because the Astros took care of the Phillies in six games.

"The city of Houston and baseball fans will never get tired of celebrating the Houston Astros and the 2022 World Series championship," said Turner, who was wearing a World Series pin on the lapel of his suit Thursday. "I am grateful to Mayor Kenney for following through on our friendly wager and especially for donating to a Houston-based organization with a mission to end childhood hunger."
