Lindor Cheers Puerto Rico from Couch, Surprises Team

0:00New York met stories making news on March 7th. Puerto Rico kicked off the World Baseball Classic with a strong 5-0 win over Colombia at Hiram-Bithorne Stadium on Friday night. Home fans filled the stands, cheering their team to a shut-up victory in the opener. Francisco Lindor, the Met's shortstop, couldn't join them on the field because he's recovering from left-hand surgery. Still, he stayed connected, watching the game from his couch and ready to rally the squad with just a phone call. Under the game, Lindor made a fun surprise appearance and catcher Martin Maldonado's post-game interview. Kike Hernandez held up his phone on FaceTime, showing Lindor dancing and celebrating wildly with the team. Everyone loved the moment, from the pumped-up players to viewers at home. It showed Lindor's spirit lifting Puerto Rico even from afar, keeping the energy high. Lindor is still on track to return for the Met's on opening day. Expect more videos of him cheering on Puerto Rico through the tournament. This story is shared with support from our sponsor.
