"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez has a couple of unusual good-luck charms: Shower shoes and perfume.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's right. In an interview with KHSB in Kansas City, the station found that Perez's use of both has coincided with his individual performance getting better and his team going on a winning streak.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said he started wearing his red shower shoes after he forgot his pair on the road and was given a pair in Boston last month. Since then, the Royals have climbed into first place in the American League Central.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Later in the interview, out of nowhere, Perez dropped this line: \"I use perfume. I don't know if you guys know that.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said he used it one time after getting the idea from a teammate, and one umpire told him he smelled nice. He also hit well in that game, so he decided to keep using it.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I learned that Alcides&amp;nbsp;[Escobar] -- every time they go play -- he uses Victoria's Secret,\" Perez said. \"One day I said, 'Alcides, let me try it.' In the first inning, the umpire says, 'You smell good, Salvy.' I said, 'Thank you.' In that game I hit a ball and everything so I started to use it every day. Now I use Victoria's Secret every time.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here's the video: var p = new anv_pl_def(); p.config = {}; p.config.width = 640; p.config.height = 360; p.loadVideoExpressV3('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|1000011|SPS');\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[h/t CBS Sports]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Brett LoGiurato&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
