Anne Rogers writes about the big day for Salvador Perez on Thursday that led to a busted belt.

Perez thinks Ragans was the one to hang the broken belt up in the dugout.

A good luck charm, maybe — or just a symbol of Perez’s great doubleheader day.

“I don’t know,” Perez said, shaking his head. “I’m too heavy.”

Or Bobby Witt Jr.’s perspective: “That’s what happens when you’re that fast. The friction of the dirt and everything just breaks it.”

Pete Grathoff noted it was one of the best doubleheader performances ever.
