In Major League Baseball, home runs and double plays are usually the most exciting. But for a change, it’s nice to witness a new style of game with giggles, tiny shoes, and a dad who is always there for his daughter’s big day. The New York Mets’ charming shortstop, Francisco Lindor, recently showed that his best plays might not happen on the field.
The buzz in the air was heavy with the expected post-game excitement as the series finale against the Chicago White Sox at Citi Field came to an end. The Mets won the three-game series, even though they lost the last 9-4. This was a good showing for the squad. Lindor, always the pro, got three hits and two RBIs in the series. This season, he’s been a steady presence for the Mets and a key part of their offense.
But while the baseball world was going over analytics and talking about strategy, Francisco Lindor’s mind was already racing toward his next, much more important—a special meeting to be precise. And thanks to the rain forecast, the scheduled timing of 7.10 PM got pushed forward to 1.10 PM ET – literally a blessing for Lindor, the Dad! Else, by the time the game ended, the dance would’ve started.
Right after the match, Francisco Lindor didn’t waste any time. He changed out of his cleats and into his dad’s shoes and went to see his daughter’s ballet performance. A support for his toddler. His wife, Katia, posted pictures on Instagram of her practice sessions, and then the moment she shared with her dad, not an MLB star, there.
In the story, there was a very lovely picture of Lindor with her daughter, wife, and Kalina’s ballet teacher. There was the caption, “Papa made it in time thanks to the game time change!” Following that, another bunch of cute photos went on. One showed the family enjoying dinner: My 4 dates.” And then, there was Lindor assisting his girls with their car seats, captioned, “POV: you’re a girl, dad.“
You can feel the affection Lindor shares with his family. It’s always a delight to watch! Katia Lindor is socially active, and she keeps sharing these bits to give us an insider look… Well, thanks, Katia! We owe you…
And well, all of these are another side of the game, way beyond the sky-high homers.
Francisco Lindor’s home run in fatherhood and baseball
Francisco Lindor, the New York Mets’ star shortstop, is doing well both on and off the field. And Sunday Night Baseball fans witnessed a heartfelt moment between Lindor and his wife, Katia, during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Lindor wore a microphone during the game, and Katia, who was holding one of their children, playfully questioned him.“What’s harder? Turning a double play or 4 AM diaper changes?” Lindor smiled and replied, “Hi, beautiful wife.” Turning a double play is tough, but those 4 AM diaper changes? That’s next-level challenging.”
And that instantly went viral. The closeness they share as a pair – beautiful to experience, isn’t it?
But that reminds us of his on-field presence, too. In a close game against the Chicago White Sox, Lindor hit a walk-off sacrifice fly to right field in the bottom of the ninth inning. This allowed outfielder Tyrone Taylor to score the winning run. This was Lindor’s third walk-off RBI of the season, making him one of the best players in the league. And Lindor became the first Met since Wilmer Flores to do this in a single season.
Expectedly, like every other event, Katia shared the moment by posting SNYTV’s post on her Instagram story. It won’t be a brag to say Francisco Lindor has a lady charm!
Lindor’s ability to manage the responsibilities of professional baseball while remaining committed to his family is impressive. His recent heroic acts on the field, together with his funny and loving moments off the field, show that he is great at both. Lindor always faces challenges with devotion and a grin, whether it’s turning double plays or changing diapers at night.
