Sal Perez is surrounded by baseball and also a little sadness. Royals fans know how foreign this setup is. For years and years — seven, to be exact — they have known their catcher for his smile and his splashes and his goofy videos and especially his smile.
There has always been a bit of a gap with Perez depending on whether the cameras are on, but the smile is the biggest in the room no matter the room. For years and years — seven, to be exact — the room has been mostly the same.
Sal.
