Hochul, confident in her team’s legacy, responded, “Here’s my wager to you, Governor Newsom: If it turns out that I win — and I will — I’ll be requiring that you display Yankees memorabilia in your office. If the opposite occurs, we’ll talk about that then, but I’d have to do the same for you. Let’s play ball!”…
