Sal Perez never saw a ballgame he didn't want to play, a camera he didn't like, or a joke he didn't want to make. This is his role. This is his way, sincerely, and without supernatural flexibility and a right arm blessed by the baseball gods and superior hand-eye coordination, you can imagine him being the most enthusiastic schoolteacher in the district.
But he was made to play baseball. Made to lift spirits and swing hard, not always in that order, and if you're around the Royals catcher you get the sense he knows his role exceptionally well.
