NEW YORK -- There's even more excitement in store for Game 3 of the World Series.
A spokesman for Billy Joel told Newsday the "Piano Man" will lead Citi Field in the national anthem prior to the game Friday night between the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals.
The Mets have a long history with Joel.
This season, they played Joel's "Piano Man" as a sing-along during the eighth inning and sometimes played "New York State of Mind" after a Citi Field win.
Last week, Joel sang "Meet the Mets" and gave score updates from the NLCS's Game 4 during a concert at Madison Square Garden.
