The Royals’ new billboard in Westport commemorating the 2015 World Series championship features what else: A photo of catcher Salvador Perez and his water cooler celebration.
The latest creation by the team and Walz Tetrick Advertising also includes the tagline “Forever Royal,” which was also the Royals’ slogan in 2015.
Previous billboards appeared along Interstate 35 south of downtown. In 2013, there was the James Shields/Salvador Perez dual billboards across the expressway. The next year was the Alex Gordon billboard that appeared torn as he was sliding. Last year, it was Jarrod Dyson’s glowing feet that had burned up the sign.
