When George Brett retired in 1993, he did so with 317 career home runs, all of them coming in a Royals uniform. Brett was not the last of a dying breed—there have been other players, and some active ones, who have played their entire careers for just one organization, but it’s getting rarer.
One of those players is Salvador Perez.
With his home run yesterday, Perez now has 291 for his career. The 35-year-old has 18 for the year and there’s just under 60 games left in the season. The Royals hold a club option on Perez for next season that’s worth $13.
