There have been plenty of great and unexpected stories from the Detroit Tigers early in the season, with many players defying expectation and making the club a heck of a lot of fun to watch.
Not all of those stories are t-shirt worthy (Akil Baddoo’s breakout certainly has been), but we think one other player is well worth being in the spotlight, and that’s Detroit’s current home run king, Wilson Ramos.
Ramos is currently only behind Ronald Acuña Jr. atop the MLB home run leaders, with six long balls heading into the weekend series with the A’s. In spite of Jack Morris lovingly calling him “The Bull” constantly, Ramos’s long-standing nickname is, in fact, “The Buffalo.”
The fine folks at BreakingT have designed a pretty timeless shirt to commemorate Ramos’s hot start (one that we dare say even Mets fans might be able to appreciate, with its color scheme).

In the meantime, let’s appreciate one of those 2021 homers.
RT @BallySportsDET: As Ernie Harwell would say, that ball is LONG GONE! Wilson Ramos sent that one 443 feet into the trees in center field for his third home run of the season. #DetroitRoots pic.twitter.com/esgkIOv5m3
