[Chris Christie](http://time.com/4843960/chris-christie-new-jersey-government-shutdown-beach/) was booed by fans at a New York Mets baseball game on Tuesday night, after catching a foul ball in the stands. Christie was watching the Mets play a home game against the St. Louis Cardinals when he made the catch. He gave the ball to a kid nearby, but that failed to stop the booing. “Nice to see him get from the beach here to the ballpark,” Cardinals’ play-by-play announcer Dan McLaughlin said, according [NJ.com](http://www.nj.com/mets/index.ssf/2017/07/watch%5Fchris%5Fchristie%5Fcatches%5Ffoul%5Fball%5Fat%5Fmets%5Fgam.html), referencing Christie’s [visit earlier this month](http://time.com/4845053/chris-christie-sand/) to a state beach that he had closed to the public in the midst of a [government shutdown](http://time.com/4844284/christ-christie-budget-deal-government-shutdown/) in New Jersey. [Photos captured](http://time.com/4843762/chris-christie-beach/) the Governor sitting with friends and family members on an otherwise deserted beach during the 4th of July holiday weekend. Even before that incident, a [Quinnipiac University poll](https://poll.qu.edu/new-jersey/release-detail?ReleaseID=2465) found that only 15% of New Jersey voters approved of Christie — a rating that made him the [most unpopular governor in any state](http://time.com/4818151/chris-christie-poll-new-jersey/) in 20 years. > [](https://twitter.com/MLBMayhem/status/887469509115826176) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4864294/chris-christie-mets-foul-ball-booed/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4864294/chris-christie-mets-foul-ball-booed/"},"headline":"Chris Christie Is So Unpopular He's Even Getting Booed at Baseball Games","datePublished":"2017-07-19T15:12:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T16:37:10.154Z","description":"\"Nice to see him get from the beach here to the ballpark\"","url":"https://time.com/4864294/chris-christie-mets-foul-ball-booed/","keywords":["Chris Christie","New Jersey","Baseball","New York","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf50fd307bbc593eb/6988d63ffb4eac84b7892f86/chris-christie-mets-booing.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf50fd307bbc593eb/6988d63ffb4eac84b7892f86/chris-christie-mets-booing.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"St Louis Cardinals v New York Mets","caption":"St Louis Cardinals v New York Mets","creditText":"Mike Stobe/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/chris-christie/","name":"Chris Christie"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4864294/chris-christie-mets-foul-ball-booed/","name":"Chris Christie Is So Unpopular He's Even Getting Booed at Baseball Games"}}]}] ```
