New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) was booed at a New York Mets game on Tuesday after he caught a foul ball.

Fans began to jeer the governor after they realized he had snagged the foul ball off St. Louis Cardinals player Paul DeJong at the top of the third inning.

“A souvenir for Chris Christie, are you kidding me?” one Fox Sports commentator said.

“Nice to see him get from the beach here to the ball park,” Fox Sports’ Dan McLaughlin said.

NEW YORK -- Fans at the Cardinals-Mets game cheered when a man neatly caught a foul ball at Citi Field - until they realized it was Chris Christie.

The New Jersey governor then got loudly booed Tuesday night.

The ovation quickly turned sour after Christie stood up and slapped hands with another fan. No matter that Christie gave the souvenir to a kid.

Christie was sitting in the third row, near the New York dugout. In the third inning, St. Louis rookie Paul DeJong lifted a high foul that bounced in the stands, and Christie reached out with his left hand and snagged it.

But I doubt he'd catch a foul ball on purpose if it could've been caught.

11. He should have been applauded

I think it's entirely appropriate that he can catch a "foul" ball.

12. Darn that player has impeccable aim. I would do a line drive next time, though.

Less likely to be stopped by the target's hands.

Even Fox is throwing shade on Christie. Oh, the humanity!
