Instead of hitting baseballs, Salvador Perez will bang the drum Sunday at Chiefs game
The 2021 Royals season has ended, but catcher Salvador Perez will be back at the Truman Sports Complex on Sunday night.
Perez will be at the Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills, which will be broadcast on NBC Sports’ “Sunday Night Football.” Perez, who hit 48 home runs and had 121 RBIs this season, will be the drum honoree for the game.
That means the popular Perez will be on the GEHA Deck before kickoff and will attempt to get the Arrowhead Stadium crowd fired up for the game.
For fans heading to the game, the Chiefs made a point of noting the road construction near Arrowhead Stadium. This is from their news release: “Southbound I-435 at Gregory Blvd. and Oldham Parkway is reduced to two lanes. This lane reduction could cause delays in the area, especially during the postgame commute.”
