As many of you know, our dear Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman engaged in a friendly wager with New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg prior to MLS Cup on Nov. 23. The gentlemanly bet went as follows: If the Crew won, Mayor Bloomberg would send a large John’s Special pizza pie-in honor of Red Bulls forward John Wolyniec of Staten Island-from Basille’s Restaurant on Staten Island, a large Italian Hero from Leo’s Latticini and Mama’s of Corona from Carnegie Deli in Manhattan and a case of Brooklyn Lager from Brooklyn Brewery. If the Red Bulls won, Mayor Coleman will send a package of Ohio State Buckeye candies and a case of Columbus’s finest ale from the Columbus Brewing Co.
As we all know, Mayor Coleman came out on top in the wager, thanks to the Crew’s 3-1 victory over New York, and the Mayor’s office has been kind enough to send over a couple of pictures of Mayor Coleman enjoying the spoils of victory. Check them out after the jump.

I notice there are no pictures of the case of Brooklyn Lager from Brooklyn Brewery. Did ale that get lost in transit or no one wanted to get pictures of the empties?
