The Mets invited a mob daughter to sing the national anthem on Saturday.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler — best known for her role as Meadow Soprano in “The Sopranos” — sung “The Star Spangled Banner” ahead of the Mets’ 6-2 loss to the Marlins.

She played protagonist Tony Soprano’s teenage daughter for all six seasons of “The Sopranos.”

Sigler, donning a Mets 1986 World Series championship shirt during her performance, has a close connection to the franchise, as she is married to ex-Amazin’s star Lenny Dykstra’s son, Cutter.

Dykstra was also in attendance on Saturday, as he and other members of the Mets’ 1986 championship squad were honored at Citi Field for the team’s 40th anniversary.

Once the game started, Sigler was shown on the big screen at the stadium sitting alongside Dykstra in the stands.

Sigler’s appearance also coincidentally comes on the same day fellow “Sopranos” star Vincent Pastore passed away at his home on City Island in The Bronx.

Pastore, who was 80, was found dead by a neighbor and died of natural causes, Page Six reported.

He was best known for his role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero in “The Sopranos” and also played multiple mob-related characters in film and TV roles.

Sigler, who starred alongside Pastore, posted a tribute on social media shortly after the tragic news broke.

“A wonderful actor, a kind and loving man,” Sigler posted to her Instagram story. “It was an honor to know you and work with you.”

Pastore’s manager, Robert Attermann, praised the actor as one of “the most generous” people he’s known following his death.

“I had the privilege of representing Vinny for more than 30 years, long before ‘The Sopranos’ made him a household name,” Attermann said in a statement to Page Six. “To the world, he will always be remembered as the unforgettable ‘Big Pussy,’ but to those of us who knew him, he was so much more.

“Vinny was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known. He treated everyone with warmth and respect, never turning down a fan who wanted a photograph or an autograph.”
