Microphones caught Salvador Perez joking with cameraman during Royals-Yankees game

Kansas City Royals catcher/first baseman Salvador Perez had a little fun joking with a cameraman during Monday’s 4-2 loss to the New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium.

In the top of the eighth inning, Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo, facing Royals relief pitcher Dan Altavilla, fouled a 0-1 fastball toward the Kansas City dugout, where Perez, playing first goal Monday evening, headed for the chase. of the ball.

When the foul ball fell out of his reach in the middle of a camera crew, Perez couldn’t help but joke with one of the cameramen. Mics captured Perez’s funny moment with the cameraman in a video shared by Talkin’ Baseball on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Hey, you should have moved. Oh my God. You don’t have a glove!” Perez said with a smile as the man burst out laughing.

Yeah, where were you on that one? In all seriousness, thank you Salvador Perez for making a seemingly routine pop into a moment of comic relief.

Perez and the Royals (39-28) will play three more games against the Yankees (47-21).
