PHILADELPHIA (CBSNewYork/AP) — Philadelphia Phillies fans might have thought New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had changed his mind about the baseball team.
But it was a dozen radio listeners who wore Christie masks and held up signs taking jabs at the governor during Monday’s home opener against Christie’s favorite team, the New York Mets.
In an appearance on SportsNet New York in February, the Republican governor declared that the Philadelphia Phillies “suck,” that their fans are bitter and angry and that it’s not safe for civilized people to go to their stadium.
