Baseball is more than just a game for New York Mets’ superstar, Francisco Lindor. While most players focus on their pre-game routines and competition, Lindor has a special tradition that adds an extra sparkle to his Tuesdays at Citi Field – ‘Lindor Smile Tuesdays.’
“Just smile, don’t let anybody make fun of you because your teeth doesn’t look the way theirs look. We all have the ability to smile.” – Francisco Lindor
Lindor’s initiative aims to encourage kids to embrace their smiles and not worry about imperfections. His message is simple yet powerful: every smile is unique and beautiful in its own way.
The heartwarming mission of ‘Lindor Smile Tuesdays’ goes beyond just spreading joy; it educates youth on the significance of dental hygiene and living a healthy lifestyle. Participants not only get to meet Lindor in person but also receive valuable tips on maintaining good dental health from local dentists.
“Participants have the chance to meet Francisco Lindor, learn about his dental hygiene routine, and attend a Mets game.” – The Amazin’ Mets Foundation
As part of the 2025 season’s kick-off, Lindor welcomed children from the SunRise Association, a non-profit organization that organizes free summer camps for kids battling cancer. The young guests had the opportunity to enjoy a Mets game while learning essential dental care tips from Dr. Howard Livers, DDS.

Beyond being an exceptional athlete on the field, Lindor’s dedication to making a positive impact off-field is truly commendable. By using his platform to promote oral health awareness among children, he sets an inspiring example for aspiring athletes and fans alike.
While baseball games may come and go, the memories created during ‘Lindor Smile Tuesdays’ are sure to leave lasting impressions on both the young participants and Lindor himself. It’s not just about winning games; it’s about winning hearts and spreading smiles in every possible way.
So next time you see Francisco Lindor flashing his signature grin on the field, remember that behind that smile lies a compassionate spirit aiming to brighten up lives one Tuesday at a time.
