Goatee Gamble: It's Chuck vs. Jake

The baseball battle between NBC and ABC’s White House correspondents began over Twitter last night. The bet: if the Dodgers win the National League Championship Series, Jake Tapper grows a goatee and if the Phillies win, Chuck Todd shaves his (famous) goatee.

@JakeTapper tweets:

@karentravers Dodgers win, i grow a goatee, Phils win, he shaves it?

@chucktpolitical hey if youre not confident about the Dodgers’ chances, I understand.

And @chucktpolitical:

@karentravers @jaketapper so I’m supposed to be put the goatee in the hands of one-time Phillie castoff Vicente Padilla? Really?

Looks like the conditions of the bet were proposed by Tapper, and egged on by his producer Karen Travers.
