Lindor’s ⁢Cartwheel Homer Doesn’t Count,But Charity event Still a Home Run

San Juan,Puerto Rico – Francisco Lindor brought his signature joy to the diamond Saturday night,but even “Mr.Smile” couldn’t escape the ⁤rules of the game. During a charity home run derby and celebrity softball game ⁤hosted by fellow Puerto Rican MLB stars José Berríos and Javier Báez,⁢ Lindor launched a towering⁢ shot off veteran utilityman Kiké ⁢Hernández.

Instead of a bat flip, ‍Lindor celebrated with a perfect cartwheel as⁤ he rounded the bases. The only problem? He missed touching third base.

The solo homer was ultimately taken off the board after ‍a replay review confirmed the oversight.‍ Even in a ‍fun-filled exhibition, the ⁤rules still apply.”I’m realy happy ⁣to be here supporting ‍my teammates and my brothers and be able to put on such a gorgeous event for the people of Puerto Rico,” lindor said. “[Berríos and Báez are] doing tremendous work. It’s amazing. I’m really proud of them.”

The sold-out‍ event benefited Berríos’ Fundación La ⁢makina and Báez’s El Mago Foundation, both dedicated to supporting communities in Puerto Rico.

The star-studded lineup included Edwin Díaz, Alexis Díaz, Jurickson Profar, jorge Polanco, Heliot Ramos, Carlos Beltrán, Willi Castro, Martín Maldonado, Jose miranda and carlos Gómez.‍

Despite the⁣ missed homer, the night was a resounding success, raising funds for crucial causes ⁢and showcasing the camaraderie ⁣and generosity of some of baseball’s biggest names.
