Chris Christie just can’t stay out of the spotlight these days.

The widely unpopular New Jersey governor showed cat-like reflexes while sitting in the third row at Citi Field Tuesday night, when he extended his left arm to snag a foul ball one-handed in the third inning of the Mets game against the Cardinals.

As has been the case for Christie in recent weeks, he got the prize but not the reaction he wanted. The crowd at Citi Field booed the Republican as he high-fived a fan in the row in front of him with the ball in hand.
