Francisco Lindor looking to inspire next generation of MLB players

While Francisco Lindor focuses on being a great husband to his wife Katie at home, he also has a bigger purpose on the diamond. Lindor recently spoke about inspiring the next generation of young stars in a video that was shared on Instagram by MLBPA.

"When I look back, I can say I've played in the big leagues for 10-plus years," Lindor said. "I'm a big believer that people set the path for me, and I'm just trying to do the same for others.

"We have a duty to do things the right way for the people who are coming after us," Lindor said. "I just felt like being part of the association — among the leadership group — was something I wanted to do to inspire others and help them walk the walk.

"Growing up, I used to analyze all the players who were in the big leagues, thinking, I could be in this position and play for years. I'm living the life I always wanted, so why not embrace it and make lifelong memories and friendships"

Francisco Lindor has had a terrific MLB career up to this point, and his wife Katia continues to appreciate his work at home.
