Francisco Lindor, an essential figure for the Mets, was initially booed by fans despite signing a massive contract. His journey mirrors that of other Mets legends like Darryl Strawberry, who also faced similar challenges early in their careers. Lindor's resilience is reflected in his impressive performance, including a walk-off home run that marked a career milestone. This narrative emphasizes the trials athletes face in high-pressure markets like New York and highlights the evolution from being booed to becoming celebrated.
"When you experience that, either you're going to come out of it better or you're going to let it get to you," Strawberry told Newsday.
"You got the spotlight on you. You're our guy. And that's what it was for me," Strawberry said, reflecting on the expectations of the fans.
