Olivia Chow loses a bet to Los Angeles mayor, wears Dodgers jersey after Jays' defeated
The mayor of Toronto has made good on a promise she made to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
Olivia Chow was spotted in Toronto on Tuesday riding her bike in a blue-and white Dodgers jersey. The sight came just a few days after the Blue Jays were defeated in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, as the Dodgers won the championship for the second year in a row.
“I make good on my bets,” Chow said on Facebook late Tuesday. “Congratulations to the Dodgers and Karen Bass. The Blue Jays made you fight for every inning, and our city showed what teamwork looks like.”
A few weeks ago on Breakfast Television, it was revealed that the Toronto mayor made a friendly bet with Bass, one rooted in their love for baseball and cycling: The mayor of the city that loses wears the jersey of the opposing team on a bike ride.
“If Toronto loses, I’ll ride in miles. If L.A. loses, she’ll ride in kilometres,” Chow previously told CityNews .
The final game in the World Series between the Jays and Dodgers was a highly anticipated event, one that draw an audience of 26 million viewers, according to data released by the Fox Corp. broadcast on Monday. The audience number was most since 2017, when the Houston Astros defeated the Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series, a game watched by 28.3 million viewers.
“While we battle at the plate, we’re two resilient cities with one shared spirit — standing up for the communities that make us strong. See you at the next World Series, Mayor Bass. Come visit anytime, you’re always welcome in Toronto!” Chow said on social media.
