See the Temptations Serenade Mets Fans With ‘My Girl’ at Game 5 of NLCS


The Temptations opened Game 5 of the NLCS at Citi Field Friday with "My Girl," the walk-up music for New York Mets’ shortstop Francisco Lindor.

The Temptations opened Game 5 of the National League Championship Series at sold-out Citi Field Friday with a rendition of “My Girl,” which this season has served as the walk-up music for New York Mets ’ shortstop Francisco Lindor. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted R&B group — which still features founding member Otis Williams, the last surviving original Temptation — performed their classic, Smokey Robinson-co-written 1964 sing moments before first pitch, with the Mets faithful turning it into a stadium-wide singalong. The performance perhaps helped power the Mets, who were facing elimination, to a 12-6 victory over the Dodgers, forcing a Game 6 and a return to Los Angeles.
