Royals catcher Salvador Perez didn’t hit a home run Monday in the Royals’ 4-1 loss to the Rays, snapping a two-game streak with a dinger.
Empirical evidence points to this being Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady’s fault.
Before the game, Perez made good on a bet with former teammate Brett Phillips, who is now with the Rays. Phillips grew up in Florida and is a big Buccaneers fan, so he and Perez bet on the outcome of Super Bowl LV.
That’s why Perez was wearing a Brady jersey during batting practice on Monday.

Naturally, the home-run streak ending wasn’t Brady’s fault. But let’s hold off on Perez being a Buccaneers fan.
Perez made sure everyone knows that he is a fan of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes, by the way, is part of the Royals’ ownership group.
Brady weighed in on Perez’s fashion choice:
Nahhh I think actions always speak louder than words https://t.co/OkilMGgwN5
