“We had an arts ‘n crafts project waiting at home for our All Star after his game,” Katia captioned the video, which featured daughters Kalina and Amapola holding up a sign that read, “Congrats All Star (Papa).”
Lindor, 31, then sweetly embraced his girls while holding the sign.
Katia, who has been married to Lindor since 2021 and recently welcomed the couple’s third child, son Koa, also celebrated her husband’s achievement in a separate message.
“So proud of you,” she gushed in an Instagram Story.
The last time Lindor was named an All-Star was in 2019 when he was in Cleveland. He’s now slated to start in this year’s All-Star game on July 15 in Atlanta.
“This is something you can’t take for granted,” he said after the Mets’ 7-3 win over the Brewers in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader at Citi Field.
“It’s a fantastic event. I’m honored, blessed. I was extremely happy and proud and ecstatic.”
Wednesday’s burst of good news came the same day Lindor shook off a major slump with a home run, three hits and three RBIs in the Mets’ victory in Game 2 of a doubleheader.
He had been 8-for-60 since June 15.
“I felt good in the first game, just didn’t get the barrel to the baseball,” Lindor said. “In the second game, I actually got the barrel to the baseball.”
Lindor later expressed gratitude to Mets fans and the team for putting him in a position to be an All-Star this year.
“I want to take a moment to thank the fans because I’m an All-Star because of them,” Lindor said. “Thank you to everyone who voted for me. The trainers that kept me on the field, my teammates, coaches who prepare me day in and day out. I’m blessed to be in this position.”
