New York Mets

He has made history.

Shortstop Francisco Lindor became the fourth New York Mets player to join the 30/30 club on Wednesday night.

In Game 2 of the Mets' doubleheader with the Miami Marlins, Lindor cranked home runs No. 29 and No. 30 to go along with his 30 stolen bases on the season. Lindor also homered in the first game of the doubleheader, hitting three long balls on the day overall.

Beyond Lindor, David Wright, Darryl Strawberry and Howard Johnson are the only other Mets to accomplish this feat.

Lindor is the first Met to go 30/30 since Wright did in 2007.

The 29-year-old had never done this in his career before.

Lindor also broke his own previous record for the most home runs by a Mets shortstop in a single season.
