New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has pledged his allegiance to the Mets.
During a visit to Samsel Upper Elementary School in Parlin, N.J., Christie was asked by a schoolchild about his favorite sports team.
"My favorite baseball team is the New York Mets," Christie said, which was met with a mixture of cheers and jeers from the school children.
"See, now, these are probably Yankees fans, right, that are booing," Christie continued. "Are those Yankees fans that are booing?
"OK, here's what I don't understand about Yankees fans: The Mets stink. We're awful. And the Yankees are usually really good. So why do you boo us? You should feel badly for us. We root for this awful team that never wins and yet the Yankees fans boo us. I don't understand that."
