The temptations to add a new walk-up song must've been too strong for Francisco Lindor.
The Mets shortstop has used 'My Girl' since last May, but on Friday in the series opener against the Cubs, it was revealed that he will be alternating with another song — 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
And, sure enough, in his second at-bat, Lindor came up to the plate with the change.
SNY field reporter Steve Gelbs made clear that Lindor will still use the fan-favorite song by The Temptations — which has become a sing-along event during his at-bats at Citi Field.
During the playoffs last year, the group even came to the ballpark during the NLCS to perform 'My Girl' live before Game 5 against the Dodgers, the one game at home the Mets won in the series.
'It was an amazing moment, to be quite honest,' Lindor said after that game. 'Most players pick a walk-up song just because that's how they feel at the moment, but we also want the fans to vibe to a song. Whenever you see the whole crowd getting into it, I think it's pretty cool.

'So having The Temptations here singing the national anthem and then singing the song, one of their biggest hits, and seeing how the crowd got behind it, it was pretty cool.'

Gelbs noted that Lindor, someone who likes to keep things fresh and make changes, did consider removing 'My Girl' entirely from the rotation but understood what it has meant to fans.
Lindor, during his first at-bat Friday after 'My Girl' played, blasted a leadoff homer to give the Mets a quick 1-0 lead.
In his second at-bat with the new song, he did not have the same luck and struck out.
