## Resource

Salvador Perez just shattered history, becoming the Kansas City Royals’ all-time home run king with his 318th blast—passing George Brett in the same stadium where he hit his very first homer. The dramatic seventh-inning shot tied the game against the Tigers and capped a hot streak, coming just three days after he tied Brett’s record. A Venezuelan-born legend since his 2011 debut, “El Niño” now boasts 318 homers, 1,000+ RBIs, and a .261 average. With nine All-Star nods, five Gold Gloves, and a 2015 World Series MVP, Perez’s legacy is cemented—plus he’s earned awards for his character and community impact. He’s heating up in 2026, already with 15 homers and 44 RBIs, including three in his last seven games. The Royals and Tigers are locked in a fierce battle in Detroit.
