Members of the music community mourned the shocking death of Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington on Thursday. One of the coolest Bennington tributes, though, came from the sports world.
Prior to the Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Atlanta Braves, the organist at Dodger Stadium played a touching rendition of “Numb,” one of Linkin Park’s biggest songs. Check out the cool moment in the tweet below.

The organist wasn’t the only member the Dodgers, however, who paid tribute to Bennington, who died by suicide, according to TMZ.

It’s a little tough to make out, Dodger pitcher Brandon McCarthy’s warm-up song seems to be “Figure.09,” a standout from Linkin Park’s “Meteora” album.
Say what you will about Linkin Park, but these tributes were undeniably great.
