WESTPORT IN PENNSYLVANIA. TONIGHT THE ROYALS ARE GOING VIRAL FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OFF THE FIELD. KMBC NINE ALAN SHOPE SHOWS US THE SPECIAL MOMENT WITH SALVY. SOMEBODY CAN JUST SEE US AND ASK TO PLAY. THE LITTLE BALLPARK IN THIS WYANDOTTE COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A VERY SPECIAL NAME. WE ALL JOKINGLY CALL IT THE SANDLOT. LIKE THE MOVIE SEEMS FITTING. THERE'S EVEN A DOG ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE THAT ALWAYS WANTS TO TAKE THE BALL. WHEN YOU HIT IT OVER, IT, AND IT'S A GAME THAT'S BEEN PLAYED HERE SEVERAL NIGHTS A WEEK DURING BASEBALL SEASON. FOR THREE YEARS. BUT ON THURSDAY NIGHT, THEY CALLED UP A MAJOR LEAGUE CATCHER TO THEIR WIFFLE BALL GAME. HE WAS LIKE, HELLO GUYS, CAN I PLAY? THE TEAM SHOCKED IT WAS SALVADOR PEREZ VISITING A FRIEND AND STOPPING OFF TO PLAY A FEW INNINGS. MOM LESLIE LARNED GRABBED HER PHONE AND STARTED RECORDING. HE JUST STARTED PLAYING. HE DIDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING AND THEY JUST KEPT PLAYING. AND WHY NOT? ANYTIME. A NINE TIME ALL STAR ROLLS UP, IT'S GAME ON. HE JUST WANTED TO PLAY. I THINK IT WAS MY OFF DAY, BUT I PLAYED LIKE THREE INNINGS, SO I KIND OF TIRED A LITTLE BIT. HE PLAYED DEFENSE, HE BATTED AND HE ASKED THE BOYS TO TAKE A PICTURE AND IF SALVY SHOWING UP TO THE SANDLOT WASN'T COOL ENOUGH, AT LEAST ONE PLAYER WILL HAVE A MEMORY. HE'LL NEVER FORGET. HE HIT A HOMER OFF ONE OF THE KIDS BACK THERE. I GAVE HIM ONE DOWN THE MIDDLE AND HE. YEAH, HE HIT ONE OFF ME. DID YOU THINK YOU WERE GOING TO STRIKE SALVY OUT? NO. IT'S HARD TO HIT THAT BALL IF YOU GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO PITCH TO SALVY SOMEDAY. ARE YOU GOING TO? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO THROW HIM? I DON'T KNOW, PROBABLY NOT A FASTBALL AGAIN IN WYANDOTTE COUNTY, NEAR THE LEGENDS ALAN SHOPE KMBC NINE NEWS. HE CAN HIT THE HEATER. SALVY SAYS THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE'S EVER PLAYED WIFFLE BALL. REALLY? THIS GUY, ONE OF THESE DAYS, IF THINGS JUST BREAK RIGHT, HE'S IN THE HALL OF FAME. HIS NUMBERS ARE TRENDING CERTAINLY IN THAT DIRECTION. AND I WONDER WHEN THAT BIG DAY COMES, IF A MOMENT LIKE
