Yes, that's right: The Temptations -- Motown legends and performers of songs like Just My Imagination, Ain't Too Proud to Beg and Papa Was a Rollin' Stone -- will be on the mic for the national anthem before Game 5 between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers.

What's more, they'll be performing their classic My Girl. And maybe you're here wondering: why are they performing at the Mets game in the first place?

It's simple: it's because Francisco Lindor uses My Girl as his walkup song, and fans sing it at Citi Field when he comes up to bat.

Enjoy!
