Christie: Yankees 2016 jersey "outrageous"


There’s no chance devout New York Mets fan Chris Christie will don the Yankee pinstripes.


Christie was a special co-host of the “Boomer and Carton in the Morning” radio show on WFAN Monday. Co-host Craig Carton offered the New Jersey governor a Yankees jersey with “Christie 2016″ on the back, which Christie refused to try on.


“Let me just say there’s no chance,” Christie said when he saw the jersey. When he saw the 2016 on the back, he added, “Now there’s two reasons there’s no chance.”


Christie, who said he has been a Mets fan since he was 7 years old, refused to stand up and take a picture with the jersey or try it on. He also assured Mets owner Fred Wilpon that he would never wear the jersey.


“I just want to say this to Mr. Wilpon, who’s out there. There’s no chance I’m ever putting this on, hanging it anyway sir. I am with the Mets. This is outrageous,” Christie said.


Carton also gave a second nod to Christie as a presidential candidate in 2016, presenting him with a second jersey that said “President Gov. Christie 2016″ on the back.
