Tuesday was named Justin Turner Day in Los Angeles, complete with a ceremony at City Hall
Around the greater Los Angeles area, Justin Turner is something of a big deal. Hitting dramatic postseason walk-off homers on the anniversary of Kirk Gibson's 1988 World Series blast will do that.
His energy, leadership and commitment to charitable work with his Justin Turner Foundation have elevated Turner to this status in the community, and on Tuesday it all came full circle with "Justin Turner Day" at City Hall.
If you were wondering whether red beards showed up at the courthouse, the answer is a resounding yes:
