Tim 'TA7' Anderson named his bat after his daughter for Players' Weekend

Players' Weekend is out in full force and we couldn't be more excited to embrace the nicknames and customized accessories Major League Baseball is bringing to the table. And for Tim Anderson, or "TA7," he wanted to do something special for his daughter on the celebratory weekend and name his bat after her.

The White Sox infielder was hesitant to use the bat in case he had a bad game, but like the broadcasters said, no matter what, it'll still be a quality bat.
Too cute.
