Ed Sheeran shouted out Justin Turner by wearing his jersey during 'Shape of You' at his L.A. gig
When Dodgers All-Star Justin Turner strides to the plate, he does so to the tune of Ed Sheeran's inescapable (and infectious) "Shape Of You."
On Friday night, while Turner's Dodgers were hosting the Padres at Dodger Stadium, Sheeran was in town for a gig at Staples Center. When it was time for the encore, Sheeran -- who must know that Turner, one of MLB's most noteworthy redheads, uses his smash hit single as his walk-up music -- donned a Turner Dodgers jersey for the song. Just perfect:

Turner couldn't hide his excitement about the whole thing on Saturday:
Might the natural progression of this sequence of events bring Sheeran to Dodger Stadium for a face-to-face with Turner? We can only hope.
