StewPod: Francisco Lindor on Rookie of the Year, the playoffs and his suit game

This is The StewPod, our baseball podcast with a dash of pop culture. If you dig the show, please subscribe and review us on iTunes.

There’s a good chance that Francisco Lindor wins the AL Rookie of the Year. He and fellow Puerto Rican shortstop Carlos Correa are the top two contenders for the award. It promises to be a tight vote, but if Lindor wins, he already knows what’s he doing with the trophy. He’s giving it to his parents.

“So they can see all the work that they put in and the time they spent,” says the 21-year-old Cleveland Indians shortstop.

Lindor joined the podcast this week to talk about who has impressed him this postseason, whether he thinks he should win Rookie of the Year (take a guess on that one), plus the bright future of the Indians and his own personal style. He’s big on suits, matches and shoes. In addition to that, we’ve got Three Strikes with Bad News Ramen, plus talk about Jose Bautista’s bat flip and “Back to the Future 2.”
