New York Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have made one of those cheesy sports wagers with Pennsylvania Senators Arlen Specter and Bob Casey. And it really involves cheese! If the Phillies win the World Series, Specter and Casey win some Junior’s cheesecake. If the Yankees win, Schumer and Gillibrand win Philly cheesesteaks. The winning side will also receive a bonus: heart attacks! [City Room/NYT]
