Dave Martinez is getting in on the baby tiger action

Rays bench coach Dave Martinez met a baby tiger today. No, really -- he met a baby tiger and its name is Rocky.

The little big cat took a field trip from the Dade City's Wild Things zoo to visit Detroit Tigers players at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Fla., and Martinez took the opportunity to make a new friend.

Rocky will eventually grow to be 1,000 pounds. But for now, he's just adorable.
