Why this All-Star nod is extra meaningful for the Mets’ Francisco Lindor
NY Post
Francisco Lindor could name three of the four off the top of his head.
Among the All-Star Game oddities before this season was the fact Lindor, a premier shortstop of this generation — and likely future Hall of Famer — had never been chosen as a starter for the Midsummer Classic. He served as an American League backup all four times he was selected with Cleveland.
So, who were the four shortstops who started ahead of him? Lindor correctly identified Xander Bogaerts (2016), Carlos Correa (2017) and Manny Machado (2018). But Lindor guessed Bogaerts also started ahead of him in 2019, when the honor went to Jorge Polanco.
On Tuesday, a starting job will finally belong to Lindor, in his first All-Star appearance for the Mets. Teammates Pete Alonso, Edwin Diaz and roster replacement David Peterson will join him in Atlanta.

That’s an easy way to get thrown out of the arena.
