Salvador Perez, Phillie Phanatic go toe-to-toe before Sunday’s game
The Phillie Phanatic is a hands-on mascot. As in, he isn’t afraid to get his hands on a visiting player or coach.
On Sunday, the Phillie Phanatic and Royals catcher Salvador Perez got into it. Things began with dueling Salvy Splashes. This was shown on Fox Sports Kansas City:

Perez didn’t start on Sunday, but he showed off his 2015 World Series champions tattoo.
The Phanatic-Salvy rivalry is strong. https://t.co/298ceoFcEe
