The Atlanta Braves' clutch weekend sweep of the NL East division-rival New York Mets gained the attention of legendary musician Sir Elton John.

The "Rocketman" is currently on his "Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour" and played at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Sunday night.

With their sweep of the Mets, the Braves have taken over first place in the NL East and have a magic number of one to clinch the division.

The music icon moved to Georgia in 1991 and has apparently been a Braves fan for decades. The 75-year-old's next concert is on Oct. 8 and he is slated to have seven more shows in October as the Braves look to defend their World Series crown.
