Rawlings has custom Gucci glove made for Francisco Lindor

Francisco Lindor is one of the flashiest players in the MLB, and his new glove certainly plays into that.

On Friday, Rawlings revealed a custom Gucci glove they’ve been working on for the New York Mets star. It’s been a rough couple of days for the franchise, but Lindor’s glove is beautiful nonetheless.

Check it out below. It won’t add to the Mets’ win totals, but Lindor will be manning shortstop in style moving forward.

That’s about as good as it gets when it comes to custom baseball gloves. Most people would have to take out a loan to make something similar.

“Mr. Smile” will certainly be grinning from ear to ear whenever he gets to debut this beauty. However, the Mets are currently on a seven-game losing streak, so we’re willing to bet Lindor will keep it curtailed for now.

Regardless, baseball fans around the globe can simply marvel at Francisco Lindor’s Gucci glove until we see it hit the field. It’s a showstopper, that’s for sure.

More on Francisco Lindor, New York Mets

Moreover, the New York Mets swept the Philadelphia Phillies last week, and all was looking up for Francisco Lindor and his teammates. However, some subpar hitting and pitching since then has sent the franchise with high expectations into a complete tailspin.

First, the Toronto Blue Jays came to town for a three-game set at Citi Field. The Mets bats were nowhere to be found, as the AL East franchise came in and brought out the brooms in New York.

Then, it was a trip down to Atlanta to face the Braves, as the Mets looked for revenge for a sweep in an all-important series last season against their NL East rivals. The last couple of years haven’t been kind to the Mets against Atlanta, and this series wound up to be no different.

While New York possessed the lead by at least three runs in all three games, they somehow found a way to lose each one. The capper was a walk-off home run by Ozzie Albies to secure the sweet for the Braves on Thursday night, which broke the hearts of Mets’ fans everywhere.

Now, Francisco Lindor and the Mets are in Pittsburgh for a three-game set, but the Pirates took Friday’s first game of the series by a score of 14-7. Certainly not the start to a rebound the Mets were looking for.
