New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor got emotional ahead of the series opener against the San Diego Padres at Citi Field on Tuesday.
Francisco Lindor watched on as his wife, Katia, a trained violinist, performed the national anthem on a violin as the Mets celebrated Hispanic Heritage Night.
The Mets shortstop got emotional at his wife's performance before jumping and playing around with his three kids, daughters, Kalina and Amapola Chloé, and son, Koa Amani.

Katia is a classically trained violinist but has limited her practice after giving birth to three children, per Francisco Lindor.
“She doesn’t do it like she was back in the day, when she was doing four to five hours a day … we have the baby now, but she still does two hours whenever she gets the time,” Lindor said.While Katia received a rousing ovation from the home crowd at the ballpark, her husband had the crowd on its feet as Lindor went deep against Padres starter Michael King for a solo home run in the second inning.
The All-Star slugger went 2-for-3 at the plate with a home run and drove in two runs for the team as the Mets won 8-3 after the seven-run onslaught in the first two innings of the series opener.
