Is the World Series going to turn into Shinguard-Gate?
A mini-controversy appears to be brewing after Fox cameras caught Royals catcher Salvador Perez with some kind of brown substance on his shinguards.
Perez didn’t speak to reporters after the game and manager Ned Yost didn’t shine much light on the issue, either.
“It’s not illegal,” Yost said. “I don’t know what it was. It was brown. It’s not illegal for a catcher to have it on his shinguard. It’s illegal for a pitcher.”
ESPN analyst and Red Sox great Curt Schilling had an interesting take.
