LAKELAND, Fla. (WXYZ) -- Tigers outfielder and 'The Walking Dead' fan J.D. Martinez received a special gift this week at Spring Training.

Martinez posted a video on Twitter showing him opening a custom box with the show's logo that contained a prop barbed-wire bat made famous by the show's villainous Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

"Just call me Negan," Martinez said in the video while posing with the bat.
