ANAHEIM, Calif. (KCTV) – Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez has just one player in franchise history ahead of him on the all-time RBI list.
Tuesday night, Perez opened the final road trip of the season with an RBI single, driving in shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. to give the Royals a 2-0 lead for his 1,013th RBI of his career. It moved him past Hal McRae for second-most career RBI in Royals franchise history.
The future Royals Hall of Famer is 3 RBI shy of back-to-back 30 home run, 100 RBI seasons. It would be his third 100 RBI season of his career if he’s able to reach it.

Royals Hall of Famer George Brett owns the franchise record for RBI with 1,596 RBI. While it’s unrealistic to expect Perez to ever reach that RBI total, the Royals catcher is 14 home runs shy of Brett’s franchise home run record.
Perez’s latest accomplishment adds to a season in which the 35-year-old Venezuelan reached 300 home runs for his career.
