35 Years of Misery & Counting
Everyone wants to talk about Francisco Lindor having a big day and breaking out of his slump. But damn if winning a series and Sean Manaea pitching well again is much more important.

One year after promising to give his teammate a car if he won the National League batting title, New York Mets All-Star Francisco Lindor finally made good on his bet with Jeff McNeil, resulting in McNeil getting a new set of wheels.
On Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday shared that McNeil is now the owner of a new Ford Bronco courtesy of Lindor, who in May of 2022 stated that he would buy a car for his teammate if he won the league’s batting title. McNeil would go on to lead the MLB with a .326 batting average, though Lindor dragged his feet on delivering his end of the bargain until the 2023 offseason.
Hey, better late than never and Jeff looks happy, so hopefully now he can relax, concentrate and have a great 2024 season.
Still no All-star appearances and obviously we need a ring, but other than that it’s hard to complain about the numbers Lindor has put up since he signed.
