Perez made an attempt to show off his excitement for a doubleheader series this weekend between the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants. To do so, he got himself clicked wearing a jersey of the Padres with his nickname “Checo” and number 11 on the back.
However, the amusing thing is that not far away from him was a Giants jersey with his nickname on it. Alongside this, a Padres hat and gloves could also be seen in front of him.
