NEW YORK -- The Mets' faithful will get some extra help serenading shortstop Francisco Lindor on Friday afternoon at Citi Field.

Motown legends The Temptations will perform their first No. 1 single, "My Girl," which Lindor uses as his walk-up song, immediately after their singing of the national anthem ahead of Game 5 of the National League Championship Series between the Mets and Dodgers.

Lindor has been using "My Girl" as his walk-up music since mid-May, around the time manager Carlos Mendoza moved him to the leadoff spot and altered the trajectory of the floundering club's season.

With the nickname "Mr. Smile," Lindor talked about wanting to make it into a singalong for the crowd, which gained traction over the past few weeks with a packed ballpark in Queens. In the first inning, in particular, Lindor likes to take his time getting into the box so that fans have a chance to not only sing along to the first verse, but also the chorus -- even after the music fades out.

Last year, Billboard Magazine named The Temptations -- a multi-Grammy Award-winning recording group -- as No. 1 on its list of the Top 100 Greatest R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of All Time.
