For Pete's Sake

Royals’ Salvador Perez shows off his newborn son

Tis the season for babies.

In the last few weeks, we’ve seen Royals third basemen Mike Moustakas and Cheslor Cuthbert post photos of their babies on social media. Ditto for Sporting Kansas City defender Matt Besler.

On Monday, it was Royals catcher Salvador Perez’s turn, as his fiancee gave birth to a boy on Monday.

Yep, that is Johan Salvador Perez. This is the second son for Perez, who also has a boy who shares his name: Salvador Jr.

Perez was a scratch from Monday night’s game against the Oakland A’s, but fans didn’t mind. They were happy for Perez.
