For Pete's Sake

Salvador Perez’s young son was right at home on the All-Star Game red carpet

There is a lot more to the All-Star Game than just the game itself.

The Home Run Derby is held the day before, there is a parade, and players walk the red carpet.

On Tuesday, Royals catcher Salvador Perez took his mother, wife and 20-month-old son, Johan, to the off-field festivities. Not surprisingly, Johan was a hit.

On the red carpet, Perez and Johan were met by former Yankees/Indians/A’s outfielder Nick Swisher, who is now with Fox Sports.

Johan gave a high-five to Swisher (and it was cute):

Perez shared a series of photos from Tuesday in this Instagram post, and Johan seemed to enjoy himself at Nationals Park:
