Travis Shaw earns new nickname after 1st HR of season
Travis Shaw / Twitter
Boston is already David Ortiz's (bleep)ing city, so his Red Sox teammate Travis Shaw was forced to find a town of his own.
Fortunately for Shaw, the city of Ding Dong was in search of a new mayor, and the third baseman's first home run of the season on Sunday was enough to earn him the prestigious honor and a new nickname - which he showed off on a brand new T-shirt.
After yesterday, I guess I can officially put this shirt on for the first time haha #RedSox #nicknamewasgiven pic.twitter.com/FnDP08NULN

Shaw will look to boost his mayoral credentials - not to mention his long-ball totals - Monday when the Red Sox host the Blue Jays in the annual 11 a.m. Patriots' Day start.
