Mets' Francisco Lindor relishing All-Star nod after lengthy wait | amNewYork
Briefly

Francisco Lindor has been named a starter for the National League in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, marking his first time selected as a starter. He achieved this honor by surpassing Mookie Betts and has been named an All-Star five times overall. After a recent game where he excelled with three hits and three RBIs, he expressed gratitude and pride in representing the Mets. Voter selection for All-Star honors has not favored him previously, despite his strong performance and contributions to the team.
My heart was proud and full of joy... This is something you can't take for granted. It's a fantastic event. We're honored and blessed.
I'm honored and proud to be able to take the field in Atlanta as a Met... I do that with a lot of pride and utmost respect.
Voters have been unnecessarily stingy with Lindor since he arrived in Queens in 2021.
It's unbelievable and very, very well deserved, Nimmo said.
