Gov. Chris Christie has not been shy about expressing his rooting interests, including his support for the New York Mets.
So he probably was thrilled to have a New York baseball star on the opioid task force he is running for President Donald Trump.
Well, there's one hitch: Christie's new teammate made his living pitching for the Yankees, and nobody in the region roots for both teams.
Mariano Rivera, perhaps the greatest reliever of all time and a shoo-in to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, joined Christie and others at the White House meeting Wednesday.
