NEW YORK (AP) Mets fans will get a little help when they sing My Girl at Game 5 of the National League Championship Series on Friday: The Temptations will be in the ballpark.
The team said Thursday the four-time Grammy Award winners will perform The Star-Spangled Banner at Citi Field before the Mets play the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Immediately after the national anthem, the group will perform My Girl, its 1964 song that became The Temptations' first No.
1 hit.
Star shortstop Francisco Lindor switched his walk-up music before plate appearances to My Girl in late May, just before the Mets turned around their season following a slow start.
Fans at Citi Field have taken to the song, continuing to sing the lyrics even after the music stops while Lindor is at bat.
