How Francisco Lindor became the heart and soul of the Mets

That number retirement/hall of fame induction video that begins with the fans booing him and him giving the thumbs down and ending with him holding the World Series trophy will be Oscar worthy
this is a great read, thanks for posting it. always love to hear about the culture in the clubhouse and how all the guys, mendy and stearns included, are working together and meshing. LGM
At every game I have attended, Lindor is the only consistent Met that always takes time to sign items and take pics with the fans before the first pitch. I have a couple of things signed and he is always happy and appreciative of the fans…. Love this guy. In addition… He can teach a master class in how to speak to the press: ALWAYS accountable and never takes sole credit for anything.
Dude is a leader through and through. The best leader the team has had since David.
I remember when Pete hit 53 that I wished David had been healthy for just one more year. A ceremonial passing of the torch.
It’s only thinking about that and just reading this article that I’m realizing that we have our captain…he just plays the position next to where Cap stood.
How Francisco Lindor proved (again) that booing your own players for results based reasons is always stupid. Dude has always been this hard working. He’s always wanted to be on the field for every game. He’s always been a good leader. He’s always wanted to bring this team success.
And for fan treatment to have gotten to him enough in year one that he outwardly showed his frustration should in retrospect show you how shitty fans were to him.
Booing him because of an early slump before he goes on to prove consistently that he’s a great, hard working player should make fans rethink the idea that booing your own players for a slump is anything other than counterproductive.
But then again, fans should have learned that lesson with Carlos Beltran too. So I don’t doubt we’ll see more of the “I’m going to yell at you so you hit better” logic.
The way he encourages his pitchers, always communicates with the hitters, always the one who faces the media when things get really bad. He is the definition of a captain in New York City
