Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this Lindor fella and them Oakley sunglasses. Folks keep talkin’ about ’em, so I figured I’d chime in. Don’t know much about fancy baseball or nothin’, but I do know a thing or two about seein’ clear, especially when that sun’s beatin’ down.
This Lindor, he’s a big shot baseball player, I hear. Plays for the… Mets, I think they call ’em. Anyways, he’s always wearin’ these Oakleys. Now, I ain’t never owned a pair of Oakleys myself. Too rich for my blood, I reckon. But I seen ’em on TV, and they look mighty fancy.
Seems like Lindor can’t get enough of them things. Always got ’em on, whether it’s sunny or not. Heard tell he even wears ’em when it’s windy. Says his eyes get all dried out, and he can’t see good without ’em. Can you imagine that? Eyes dryin’ up like that. Poor fella. I tell ya, back in my day, we didn’t have no fancy sunglasses. Just had to squint and bear it. Or maybe wear a big ol’ sun hat, if you was lucky.
- Oakley Sunglasses: Shiny and new, they say. But I bet they scratch easy, just like them cheap ones from the drugstore.
- Francisco Lindor: That baseball fella. Hits the ball real far, I guess. Makes a lot of money, that’s for sure.
- Mets Team: Lindor’s team. They play in the city, I hear. Lot of hustle and bustle down there. Not for me, no sir.
Now, they say these Oakleys got that “O” symbol on ’em. Big deal. A letter. They put that letter on the case, too, and on the little bag they come in. Fancy, fancy. Folks say Oakley is a “luxury brand”. Luxury! That just means expensive, I reckon. You pay extra for that little “O”, I guess.
But Lindor, he seems to like ’em. Says he sees better with ’em. Especially those special ones, the… Encoder, they call ’em? Sounds like somethin’ out of a spaceship movie. Probably cost more than my whole house, if I had a house worth talkin’ about, that is. Lost that in the divorce, you see.
Anyways, he posted a picture on the internet, or so I heard. Sun’s out, shades on, he says. Well, good for him, I say. If he likes ’em and they help him see, then that’s all that matters. But I still think it’s a whole lot of money for somethin’ to keep the sun outta your eyes.
I seen some folks sayin’ Lindor partnered up with Oakley. That means he gets paid to wear ’em, right? Smart fella. Makin’ money playin’ baseball and wearin’ fancy sunglasses. Can’t fault him for that. Everybody’s gotta make a livin’, I suppose. Just wish I coulda made mine wearin’ sunglasses and hittin’ balls.
He even got them special glasses with his own prescription. Seems like his eyes ain’t so good no more. Maybe all that starin’ at the ball done it to him. Or maybe he’s just gettin’ old, like the rest of us. Ain’t nothin’ you can do about that, I tell ya. Time catches up to everybody, even fancy baseball players.
So, there ya have it. That’s all I know about Lindor and his Oakleys. A whole lotta fuss over some sunglasses, if you ask me. But hey, if it makes him happy and helps him play better, then more power to him. Me, I’ll stick to my cheap drugstore glasses. They ain’t pretty, but they get the job done. And they don’t break the bank neither, not like those fancy luxury ones he wears.
