Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor is known as "Mr. Smile" around the baseball world, and unlike some other nicknames, its meaning is pretty obvious -- the guy just loves to smile. Whether it's on the basepaths ...

... working out ...

... or dressing to impress.

For his 25th birthday on Wednesday, Lindor faced a new challenge. Could he smile through the crazy winds of indoor skydiving?
You bet:

As always, the birthday boy is looking good -- albeit a little goofy. We think it adds to the charm.
