Gov. Chris Christie plays in charity softball game at Yankee Stadium (VIDEO)

Gov. Chris Christie took some time off from playing hardball with politicians to lending his bat and glove to a charity softball game on Monday.

The embattled governor participated in the fourth annual Bombers Boomer Broadway Softball Classic featured celebrities facing off against the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team and New York Yankees alumni in a friendly game at Yankee Stadium.

Christie and other celebrities took to the field to help raise money for wounded warriors and the Boomer Esiason Foundation that supports fighting cystic fibrosis.

And I guess saying the rotund Christie covered all the bases would be too easy.

Christie— who was a high school catcher — did catch the ball to make a crucial out at third base in the 7th inning with the bases loaded and played nine innings as his team eked out a 7-6 win for Boomer's side.

Christie is a regular guest on WFAN’s "Boomer & Carton," co-hosted by Esiason and Craig Carton.

The devoted baseball fan told reporters  before the game that he was happy to have a break from politics and said he hoped he wouldn’t get injured.

He also mentioned that he’d rather be at Citi Field — home of his beloved Mets.

Just watch that GW Bridge traffic back to the Jersey Turnpike.

NYC broadcasters blast Daniel Murphy's paternity leave: 'They should have had a C-section!' (VIDEO)

Right before Mike Francesa blasted Daniel Murphy for missing the first two games of the season while on paternity leave, two other New York sports radio hosts were criticizing the New York Mets second baseman for staying with his wife for the birth of their first child.

WFAN morning host Boomer Esiason said Murphy should have forced his wife to have a C-section before the season to help him avoid missing the first few games.

The team has not publicly complained about Murphy missing time, but Esiason's co-host Craig Carton insisted the infielder "get [his] ass back... [to] play baseball."

Yesterday afternoon WFAN host Francesa called paternity leave a "scam" and a "gimmick."

Murphy is allowed one to three days off, according to a provision in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement between owners and the player’s union – much less than the two weeks guaranteed by the federal government.

Esiason, himself a former NFL quarterback, argued Murphy should have told his wife to ‘have a C-section before the season starts’ because he needs "to be at Opening Day."

Carton agreed with the former Jets signal caller, saying "assuming the birth went well, the wife is fine, the baby is fine, 24 hours and then you get your ass back to your team and you play baseball."

"That’s my take on it," Carton continued. "There’s nothing you can do anyway, you’re not breastfeeding the kid."

Esiasion summed up his ranting by saying "[men] don’t have the plumbing to take care of what needs to be taken care of."

Anger over the 29-year-old Murphy's time away kept boiling over into the afternoon.

"One day I understand. And in the old days they didn’t do that. But one day, go see the baby be born and come back," said Francesa later in the day.

"You’re a Major League Baseball player. You can hire a nurse to take care of the baby if your wife needs help," he continued.

The hosts made sure to clarify that were speaking only of situations where there were no medical complications, but the point was already made.

Daniel and Victoria Murphy, married since 2012, welcomed baby Noah into their lives March 31. 

The five year veteran was in Florida for the birth while his team opened the season in New York against the Washington Nationals.

Murphy is expected to suit up for Thursday’s game, the third of the season, against the Nationals – he has not publicly commented on the issue.

WFAN's Craig Carton gets soaked in urine during drug test gone wrong (VIDEO)

Craig Carton and WFAN morning co-host Boomer Esiason from the Boomer and Carton Show decided to do a random drug test on Tuesday after the recent PED allegations came out about Alex Rodriguez. After an employee named “White Trash” was selected, producer Al Dukes came to collect the cup from alongside Carton.

You can guess what happens next.

The best part is how long and hard Boomer cracks up at his pee-soaked co-host.
