New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's popularity hasn't exactly been at an all-time high lately, what with Beachgate and all.

So, when he happened to catch a foul ball left-handed at the Mets-Cardinals game on Tuesday night, baseball fans at Citi Field weren't quite thrilled. When it became clear that Christie was the one to catch the ball hit by Cardinals second baseman Paul DeJong, the crowd loudly booed the governor while he high-fived nearby fans. One announcer commented on the catch by saying, "It's nice to see him get from the beach to the ballpark."

Ouch, that must burn worse than the sunburn he got on Fourth of July weekend.
