NEW YORK — 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 says 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.
