It's Players' Weekend across baseball, which means it is time for MLB stars to show off their style with creative nicknames on their jerseys, customized kicks on their feet, one-of-a-kind bats at the plate and tailor-made gloves in the field.

The start of the weekend has brought some added flair to the games along with some emotional tributes.

Here's a (running) look at the best we've seen -- and keep checking back for more, as we'll be adding to this file all weekend long.
