Francisco Lindor Arrived to Spring Training With Prince Akeem’s Jacket From ‘Coming to America’

Spring is in the air, which can only mean it’s time for some baseball. Spring training has arrived, and players started to arrive for duty. Sporting some fluorescent blue-dyed hair, Francisco Lindor arrived in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Lindor shows support for his new New York Mets squad by rocking a replica of the jacket Eddie Murphy wore in Coming to America.

Lindor will be releasing a cleat with New Balance, “The Lindor 1”, which is set to be released March 1st. This partnership makes him one of just three baseball players with their own line of cleats, the others being Mike Trout and Bryce Harper.

One cleat. Two Fits.
