It was a complete beatdown from the Panthers, and they completely earned the right to call themselves champions once again. But after the celebration, the Panthers were seen hanging around with a familiar face. Six-time MLB All-Star JD Martinez was seen taking a break from his day-to-day activities and poised for a photo with the champions. Martinez is from Miami, so he is likely a fan of the team. But this is a cool moment for all involved, and Martinez got to celebrate with the players. The veteran slugger is currently a free agent, so he has plenty of time to do things like this. But the Panthers clearly didn't mind him stopping by, and the group got to celebrate together.
