LONDON — Francisco Lindor was 9 years old when he attended his first and only major league game before signing a professional contract.

That game was in 2003, when the Montreal Expos were playing a portion of their home schedule in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Lindor and a cousin attended a Rangers-Expos game.

It’s a memory that struck Lindor this week when he was asked about the Mets and Phillies playing two games in MLB’s London Series, beginning Saturday. Lindor had to wonder how many kids from Great Britain would be getting to attend their first major league game.

“I think it’s good for the game because it helps it expand,” Lindor told Sports+. “There could be many kids who attend who turn into actual baseball fans. It’s the same thing with people who might have watched games on TV and think it’s boring.”
