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.

Immediately after the national anthem, the group will perform “My Girl,” its 1964 song that became The Temptations' first No. 1 hit.
