Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez has won a World Series, Clemente Award, and numerous gold gloves and silver slugger awards, and the captain has added yet another milestone to the resume.

 

Perez homered for the first time in over a month in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the San Francisco Giants. It is the 276th home run in Salvy's career, placing him fifth all-time among catchers in the American League.

 

Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk holds the record at 376 home runs, with Yogi Berra second at 358, Lance Parrish third with 289, and Ivan Rodriguez fourth with 281. Perez says it's an honor to be inlcuded with some of the all-time greats.

 

With his current career pace, the 35-year old is projected to pass both Rodriguez and Parrish on the list, and could challenge George Brett's Royals record of 317 career home runs.
