Congratulations to Salvador Pérez for receiving the 2024 Roberto Clemente Award! Joined by Luis and Roberto Clemente Jr., Commissioner Rob Manfred, Capital One EVP Andy Navarrete, and his wife, Pérez received the award before World Series Game 3 on Monday night at Yankee Stadium.
Pérez, the Royals’ nine-time All-Star catcher, truly “best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement, and the individual’s contribution to his team” with his character, community involvement, and philanthropy. Just like Clemente’s, Pérez’s off-field community and charity endeavors inspire others and deserve to be recognized and celebrated.
