Francisco Miguel Lindor Serrano (born November 14, 1993), nicknamed "Mr. Smile", is a Puerto Rican professional baseball shortstop for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Cleveland Indians. A right-handed thrower and switch hitter, Lindor stands 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) and weighs 190 pounds (86 kg).
Born in Caguas, Puerto Rico, Lindor began playing baseball at an early age, and he moved with his family to Florida when he was 12. He became the Indians' first-round selection, and eighth overall, in the 2011 MLB draft. In the minor leagues, he participated in the 2012 All-Star Futures Game, and by 2013, was rated by Baseball America as the Indians' top overall prospect.
Lindor batted over .300 in both his first two major league seasons and provided elite defense. In 2016, he led the Indians to a World Series appearance and earned his first All-Star selection and Gold Glove Award, becoming the first Puerto Rican shortstop to win the Gold Glove Award. He placed second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting in 2015 and won his first Silver Slugger Award in 2017. During the 2017 World Baseball Classic, playing for the Puerto Rico national baseball team, Lindor was named to the 2017 All-WBC Team. Lindor was traded to the Mets following the 2020 season and later signed a 10-year, $341 million extension with the team. In 2023, he joined the 30–30 club.

THE strategies of the three New York City tabloid newspapers have begun to emerge. Forever, it seems, the preoccupying questions were whether The Daily News or The New York Post would survive. With that resolved, at least for now, the next question is this: How will The Post, The Daily News, and New York Newsday try to distinguish themselves from one another?

CONSIDER a Polish family settling into the Friday night TV lineup with remote control in hand, a cable box atop the color set and a satellite dish outside the window. They can flick between lowbrow and high, new American or classic, MTV or the Simpsons. They can tune in CNN or European or Polish stations for news or political discussion. There is the wildly popular satire, "Polish Zoo." At midnight the N.H.L. championships come in via the Eurosport channel, while the teen-agers hang in for the 1 A.M. live performance of the pop star Sting in Oslo via Polish state television.

Before it was acquired by NBC in early October, Super Channel, a pan-European broadcaster, struck Patrick Cox as a bewildering mishmash of paid religious programming, rock videos, news and home shopping. But Mr. Cox, the managing director of NBC's operations in Europe, also saw a great opportunity. So, along with NBC programming executives from the United States, he tossed much of the junk from the broadcaster's schedule. He began improving the more promising of the existing shows, especially those that focused on European culture, business and news. He is stirring in liberal quantities of NBC programming from the United States, including "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," the "NBC Nightly News" and the "Today" show.
