The Chicago Cubs are one of the hottest teams in Major League Baseball, winning nine of their past 12 games.

But there's something else burning in the Cubs' clubhouse -- a candle called "This Candle Smells Like Taylor Swift."

Chicago manager Craig Counsell received the scented candle as a gift a couple of weeks ago, he told Marquee Sports Network. Counsell and clubhouse manager Danny Mueller have taken the role of lighting it in Counsell's office before each of the past 12 games.

The new tradition has coincided with one of the best stretches of Chicago's season.
