Asked whether he was a baseball fan, the 82-year-old founder of the Temptations coughed and said in a low, sing-song voice: “Dodgers.”Sixty years after its debut, the Temptations’ “My Girl” has become a hit at Citi Field since New York Mets star Francisco Lindor began using it as his walk-up song in late May. Fans continue singing the lyrics even after Lindor’s plate appearance is underway.

About 5 minutes reading time. NEW YORK (AP) — Like a lot of New York Mets this season, Carlos Mendoza got off to a terrible start. During his first eight days as a major league manager, the team was rained out three times and opened 0-5. All at home.
