He's baaaaaaaack!

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was spotted hanging out with New York Mets owner Steve Cohen at Spring training this President's Day weekend. Before Jersey residents lose their collective minds (which I am sure you are doing just by the sight of his name) Christie is a member of the Mets Board of Directors, and a long time Mets fan.

The former two-term governor of New Jersey, and former G.O.P. Presidential candidate, drew national headlines in 2017 after he was spotted chilling out at a beach with family while beaches were shut down during a state government shutdown over the budget.

Of course Christie was trolled online by Mets and Yankees fans alike. Christie is no stranger to getting trolled by sports fans, which he was when he appeared in Jerry Jones' box several years ago during a Dallas Cowboys game.
