This conversation reveals not just his journey but the personal connections and friendships he's developed throughout his career, emphasizing the importance of relationships in a competitive sport.Salvy humbly discusses being a team leader, sharing candid anecdotes about his role as a captain; including the moment Mike Sweeney surprised him in a team meeting with a “C” for captain on his jersey, even after Salvy expressed his respectful declination to publicly display such an honor, out of the humbleness in his heart. He talks about the responsibilities of guiding younger players and how he balances respect and authority without distancing himself. This part of the discussion provides an inside look at the dynamics of a clubhouse and the leadership qualities that are valued in sports. It’s an insightful peek into how a seasoned player like Salvy views his role and his impact on team morale and performance.The episode explores Salvy’s personal growth and the cultural challenges he faced arriving in the U.S. from Venezuela at a young age. He talks about the initial difficulties in communication and how he overcame these barriers, eventually becoming a pivotal figure not only within his team but also in the Kansas City community. His story is a testament to the resilience and adaptability required to succeed in MLB, making it a compelling listen for fans and aspiring athletes alike. This narrative arc from a young, hopeful immigrant to a seasoned Major League Baseball team captain offers a profound commentary on the American Dream as lived in the world of professional sports.GuestSalvador Perez /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@salvadorp13⁠HostsEric Hosmer /⁠⁠⁠⁠ @hosmer305⁠⁠⁠⁠Justin Su'a /⁠⁠⁠⁠ @justinsua⁠⁠⁠⁠Peter Moylan /⁠⁠⁠⁠ @petermoylan⁠⁠⁠⁠Interact with the Diggin' Deep Crew on:⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠ Advertising &...
