NLDS - Win or Lose - Denver Wins! October 8, 2009

Two Lakewood Eateries Offer Friendly Competition on the NLDS
– Loser to feed 500 at Denver Rescue Mission.

When the Rockies played at Philadelphia in the NLDS in 2007, the Rockies swept the Phillies in three games. Although the Rockies are down one game, John Keiley, owner of Johnny’s New York Pizza in Lakewood, believes that they’ll rebound and take the series from the Phillies again this year. He is so confident that he bet Lakewood’s Taste of Philly owner Martin Garvey.

The bet is not for money but to feed Denver’s homeless population at the Denver Rescue Mission. If the Rockies win, Garvey and his Taste of Philly franchise will provide 500 cheese steak sandwiches to the mission. If the Rockies lose, Keiley and Johnny’s New York Pizza will be supplying 500 8” pizzas. Pay day is set for Thursday, October 15th.

“Win or lose, Denver’s homeless population wins,” says Keiley.
